Second day in Ghana. We started early and birded the morning from the canopy walkway in Kakum National Park. After the siesta we did the same again in the evening, seeing different species and finding an Akun Eagle-Owl at the information centre. Typical rainforest birding, feels really slow and in the evening, doing the list, you realize how much you have seen...
