		The Gambia's most famous bird, the gloriously patterned "Egyptian Plover" or "Crocodile Bird", is most likely to be seen only a short drive from the camp (in Basse - 66 km) where you may also be lucky enough to spot the delightful Carmine Bee-eater, another birders' favourite.

	Where do you want to go birding in Cameroon today?
		Cameroon records over 800 species of birds, including an endangered partridge, the Mount Cameroon francolin, the Bannerman's crested turaco, and banded wattle-eye, all endemic to Cameroon.
		Cameroon is home to 8 of the 10 African bird families and has at least 874 species but probably quite a lot more as there are areas in Cameroon where just a handful of ornithologists have ever been.
		It is quite possible to see all 7 endemic species in a 4-week trip, although we only saw 4 of them this trip mainly because we did all the travelling by public transport which costs a lot of time, which is why we skipped a few sites and left some sites before finishing the ‘job’.
