Senegal Coucal

Whist sat in the compound updating my blog, I heard a couple of bird sounds which I didn’t recognise on investigating it was a pair of Senegal Coucal’s I did manage to get a photo however not very good as you can see as they were too far in the trees.


Paul had another strange experience on his way to work this morning, he decided to use the Gelleh Gelleh he found a seat next to a young girl. He then started to read a book about the history of The Gambia as he was about to turn the page the girl stopped him by holding down the page of the book so she could finish reading it. Paul then turned over and continued reading and got to the end of the page and went to turn back to the previous page to recap only to have the book taken from him by the girl who then finished reading the page. She passed the book back to Paul saying it was a good book and asking him if she could have it. Paul explained to her it wasn’t his to give away as it was VSO property and she would be able to get it from the identification no on the cover. After a lot of confusion she finally accepted that Paul wasn’t going to give her the book and she jotted down the number of the book.
