Sacred Ibis

We were unable to find anything which looked like a forest path as mounds of empty groundnut shells had been discarded everywhere. We did find another lagoon though and were pleased to see a Sacred Ibis and African Darter Bird. We decided the best thing was to head for the road walking over mud flats and ducking under the large spiders webs which were in abundance. We walked back to the car and suddenly spotted in a tree within the hotel grounds a Bearded Bardet which is a funny looking goggle eyed bird, Abigail was pleased to be able to tick off a few more birds in her book. On the way back we called at Denton Bridge to check out prices to go to Basse by river as we plan to visit Tom and Lynne at some point. We decided not to go all the way by river as very expensive over £200 each and would take over three days to get there. The best option is to go by road stopping off on route and maybe doing a boat trip to see the Hippos near Janjanbureh
