    Recommended Guide Dawda Barry

    I realise that everyone has their preference but if travelling to the Gambia I would strongly recommend sorting your guide and the price before you go. I have just returned from a week using Dawda and can highly recommend him, he is a quiet and unassuming expert, attentive and most importantly...

    Cape Verde Frigate Birds Help Please

    Thanks all for your fast responses, I've staked out Curral Velho for three mornings with no luck so far. I think I just need a bit of luck on these as I thought there were still 6 but based on Richards data looks like my odds have at least halved. Thanks again

    Wannabe World Lister

    I totally agree with all that's been said its not just about numbers but I do feel I want to see as much as possible with my hard earned pound so to speak. A week in the Gambia was ideal. 200 birds in a week all self identified and with plenty of time to enjoy, what I am really after is some...
