Birdwatch – Bamako 17 July 2010
July 19, 2010Went on a boat trip on the Niger river and saw –
- Pied kingfishers hovering midflight then plunging into water.
- Glimpse of a green backed heron in bushes by riverbank
- White stork flying overhead, identifiable by red legs
- Lots of spur-winged lapwings
- Lots of roseringed parakeets
- Lots of long-tailed glossy starlings in a baobab tree
- I think there were also some bronze-tailed glossy starlings, but they’re difficult to tell apart from other varieties
