Wire-tailed Swallow Juvenile - a photo on Flickriver

            We had an outing to Pirang Shrimp Farm hoping for a sighting of the elusive Black-crowned Cranes. Sadly, still no luck. Our guide, Mustapha, said it would mean I would go back to The Gambia and try to see them next time. I don't really need an excuse! 
Still, there were some nice sightings including my first (badly photographed) Quail Finches and male Northern Red Bishops and Yellow-crowned Bishops displaying, also firsts.
This lovely young Swallow was one of the few birds that actually kept still.
