Hey, Look Over There...

Where? Over There!

The Sine-Saloum is home to over 600 different species of birds that make it their home either permanently or temporarily passing through over the course of a year. Our visit came at the start of the migration season.  I think spotting 1% isn't bad considering we are not ornithologists.
