Birding in the Gambia December 2015: Part One - Farakunku Lodges

This video is Part One of five covering a two week birding trip to The Gambia in December 2015. It covers birding in and around our base at the Farakunku Lodges near Tujering.

No background music, great camera.. Beautiful narration

You are great documentary maker Greg.

[@davidpeacocke1196]

A superb video. As a keen amateur birder on screen bird names would be a big help. Keep up the good work.

[@GregBaker57]

Thanks David. I’ve often considered titles but thought it a bit superfluous if stated in the commentary and didn’t want to detract from the images. Maybe a quick and not too obtrusive title might work.

[@davidpeacocke1196]

@@GregBaker57 Thanks for giving this suggestion some thought. It is sometimes difficult for us not so knowledgeable birders to pick up the names from the audio. Stay safe and well

Nice video.

Thank you ever so much Greg for your excellent series on birding in The Gambia. I'm in the middle of planning a trip. Your series is so very helpful for studying the birds and a good overlook at the habitats. Curious please, did you go with an organized tour, or as independent traveler?

[@GregBaker57]

It was an independent trip arranged through Farakunku Lodges (farakunku-lodges.com). They also organised our guide, Ebrima Njie who runs his own guiding company called Birdlife Africa (birdlifeafrica.wordpress.com).

[@GregBaker57]

Farakunku Lodge which features in the first video is a great lodge and is well situated for the main sites.

Goodday , thanks for the great serie but did you film all these birds at The Farakunku Lodges??

[@GregBaker57]

Yes, those in Part One of the series were filmed at and around (within walking distance) Farakunku Lodge

[@muhannadjbara2656]

thank U very much for the great work on the video and the info . But where are the charismatic colorful African birds

[@GregBaker57]

Not sure what you mean? The video covers birds seen at Farakunku Lodge. My other videos cover other sites visited in The Gambia.

[@muhannadjbara2656]
