Mike King aka The Gloster Birder, Keeping Gloster
We are going to Gambia in February, having never visited before, or Africa for that matter. We are staying at the Laico Atlantic Hotel in Banjul.
Just a couple of questions to start with:
1. Can anyone recommend a bird guide based near here?
2. Medical - we have sorted out malaria tablets, and are already covered for Hep A, Tetanus & Polio - websites offer differing opinions on necessary vaccinations. I just wondered what other birders had done prior to their visit?
3. I've got to start somewhere with the field guide so does anyone have a link/list of the common species I need to familiarise myself with first please.
As always thanks in advance.
