    Senegal Birds

    Great thanks for that. 1st bird here is a more contrasty version of the photo From your input I would say: 2nd bird could well be a Pale Flycatcher 4th bird is a Crested Skylark 5th bird does seem to match up to Red-shouldered Cuckoo-shrike. Here is a more contrasty view of the same photo:

    I'm so jealous - when I was in NW Argentina, we saw a Red-tailed Comet - close enough for a good shot, but I just couldnt get the bird in focus as it darted about and behind flowers. Yours is a really great shot!!

    A scruffy shot just after the mist cleared early morning, taken from a canopy platform high in the sky. Possibly the smallest bird in Africa.

    Very shy dove that only puts in an appearance just after dawn, before disappearing into the surrounding forest.

    Golden Nightjar

    Re the Golden Nightjar, our guide in Senegal, Abdou Lo, knows the rough location they roost near Podor on the Senegal RIver. We saw them flying just after nightfall, but couldnt get a decent photo. The next day we carefully cast about under bushes in the same general area, and after an hour...

    Sardinia July 2023

    Should be easy enough to ID as its a clear shot, but for some reason Merlin cannot ID it - and although Merlin has its problems, usually it comes up with something when the photo is decent.
