This is the most comprehensive and up-to-date guide to birding sites in The Gambia, not just the areas around the tourist hotels at the coast but also at many sites further afield and upriver.

Dave Gosney writes:

‘Until now, birders visiting The Gambia have been using Rod Ward’s ‘Birdwatchers’ Guide to The Gambia’ as their bible to help them plan their trip. It’s a great book but is now 18 years old and concentrates heavily on the areas around the tourist hotels. But there are other areas in the Gambia that are much more productive (and attractive) so I’ve written a new guide to show how much better the birding can be if you leave the tourists behind. If you don’t get this book you are likely to miss out on some of the best birding that The Gambia can offer’

Sites covered:

Banjul and the Bund Road, The Old Cape Road and Camaloo Corner, Kotu creek and pools, Fajara Golf Course, Casino Cycle track and Atlantic Road, Senegambia and Bijilo Woods, Brufut Woods, Tanji, Farakunku pools and Lodge walks, Tujereng ‘Woods’, Footsteps Lodge to Sanyang Pools, Marakissa, Kartong Sand Mine and Bird Observatory, Abuko Woods, Pirang, Makasutu, Mandina Ba and Farasuto forest, Faraba Banta Bush track, Jinack island, Tendaba, Kiang West, Soma wetlands and Kampanti, North Bank including Ka-urr. Panchang and the waterholes, South Bank from Brikama Ba to Bansang including Kunkilling, Jakhaly rice fields, MacCarthy Island including Bird Safari Camp.
