Tanji is an important fishing town in Gambia. In the mornings the beach is very busy, full of hundreds of people unloading the fish from the boats.
At Balaba Camp we could shoot a few very good birds at a bird bath from a hide. Elisabeth and Lamin and their friendly staff made our stay there as pleasant as it is possible without electricity and running water. But of course this is the rural reality for most Gambians. Lamin took us on a bird walk that was very productive!
