We were up early as we had decided to go for a walk to an area called Toll Point just across from Denton Bridge on the road towards Banjul. We parked up at Wadner Beach just outside a hotel which was now closed and derelict and walked onto the beach. Making our way around the edge of a saltwater lagoon and picking our way around the mangroves we saw some Cormorants, Egrets, Herons Terns and a couple of kingfishers which were gliding over the water looking for a meal. In the distance we could see a group of Pelicans on the beach as we approached they took to the lagoon and eventually took flight and headed out to sea. We headed around the toll point and back towards the groundnut factory hoping we would be able to find the forest path as detailed in the guide book. As we passed some flowers we saw four Beautiful Sunbirds flitting amongst them looking for nectar.
