This morning we went to the dunes at Tanji. A large sandy forest area with many paths to look for birds. You can also walk, but there are no routes or anything. The guide knows how to get to the sand dunes, although the beach was too far for me. We did walk back along the dunes to the starting point of the walk.
During the walk we can add a new bee-eater species: the Swallow-tailed Bee-eater. The split tail is indeed clearly visible. Another nice new species is an Eastern Olivaceous Warbler. Eastern because this species breeds in Eastern Europe, despite the fact that part of the population winters in West Africa. A typical small brown bird, with a striking eye ring, by which you can recognize it.
In the afternoon my muscles have recovered and we walk a bit further along the creek, upstream. The nicest thing we actually found were cashew nuts, which Omar roasts. It can't be fresher!
