SUMMARY
Although we stayed at the Atlantic Hotel Banjul, which was away from the main birding accommodation (i.e. The Senegambia Hotel area), the discovery of Palm Grove Lagoon as a excellent area for watching Terns and Waders was a major advantage. The Atlantic Hotel grounds held many species and also was a watch point for overflys across the river (Grasshopper Buzzard and Lanner Falcon, for example).
Our total of 213 species without going up country was very good. The Hotel itself was spotless and with Lamin Jobaate as an in house guide, excellent trips could be arranged. Undoubtedly Marakissa would have to be the first port of call for variety, and Abuko equally can not be missed. We will return again.
