Dag 27: Lamin Ricefields, Bakau

Home Biota: what is it? Animals Plants Mammals Birds NL EN

I didn't take any pictures on day 26. On Saturday 15 March we went to the gardens of Lamin with two guides. The light was beautiful, so I was able to take some nice pictures of familiar species. Compared to three weeks ago there was clearly less water in the ditches, which immediately translated into fewer birds. But that was also because I wasn't in shape. The pictures of the Senegal Coucal and Black Crake are quite beautiful, if I may say so myself. Later in the day I didn't leave anymore.
