I'm trying to pinpoint some locations from my 2006 trip to The Gambia, and wondered if anybody in this forum might be able to help.

First up, a wetland site which in my notebook I've got recorded as Nanya Bantang - however Google fails to return any results for this place. I know it's west of Wassu and east of Panchang on the North Bank road.

Any clues as to what it's really called or exactly where it was? Egyptian Plover was a lifer for me here if that's any help.
