Today's target species are a bustard and a hornbill. It soon becomes clear that the task is difficult for me, normally he walks around very far. I can't do that as Omar indicates. After 2 hours of slow walking, Omar asks a shepherd if he saw bustards. 'No', says the man, 'not today, I often see them'. Omar says that October/November is better, then I see them much better, also from the road. So a better period for me.

In the afternoon I was not so inspired. Omar is now familiar with my camera, so he finds the necessary new species in the large garden. Actually not my photos, but I just take them with me. Usually I have seen birds, either standing next to Omar for birds that I do not see directly, here in Gambia or last summer in South Africa.
