We left the vultures behind, and continued to the east.

We arrive at a bridge over a tributary of the Gambia river, marking the border between the Western and Lower River divisions of Gambia.

On the north bank of the river: a great egret.

Near the bridge, small mangrove plants have been planted, in rows, as part of a mangrove restoration project.
