This image was taken from a boat in the River Gambia National Park. Though The Gambia is a common destination for visiting birders few bother to visit this site which is unfortunate as both the birding and the scenery are stunning. Most of the islands hold mixed heronries with a few supporting breeding Pink-backed Pelicans, Marabou Stork and Ruppell's Griffon Vultures. Visit if you can!
