@Ronin Eric Glad I could help :)

[@DiscoverPARROTS]

Wonderful footage and excellent storytelling! Thanks for sharing these videos! Do you have any tips for finding and filming Senegal parrots in The Gambia? I'm going to stay at Kairaba Hotel. Yours, Florin

[@GregBaker57]

Search for Senegal Parrots in lightly wooded habitats. For photos try looking for old palm trees with holes in, where they might nest. They’re noisy but generally wary. Good luck!

[@DiscoverPARROTS]

Greg Baker thank you so much!

[@DiscoverPARROTS]

Hello again! I'm back from the trip and I wish to thank you again for the tip. I saw the parrots and I will publish a video. I am really happy! Yours, Florin

[@GregBaker57]

Discover PARROTS Glad you saw them Florin. Look forward to seeing the results.

Hi Greg, I'm thinking of doing a DIY birding trip to Gambia on the strength of your fantastic videos. Have you got any suggestions and tips?

[@GregBaker57]

If you follow the itinerary from my videos you should see many of the species covered, but you'll need a guide to make best use of time. By "DIY" do you mean making all arrangements yourself rather than through a tour operator or by using guides?

[@grahamcroucher5251]

@@GregBaker57 thanks for your reply. Using local guides and booking flights and accommodation is my plan. Do you recommend hiring a car, I've heard bad vibes about that?

[@GregBaker57]

No I wouldn’t recommend hiring a car. Get a guide / driver or if birding on your own locally just use taxis and get them to stay with you until you’re ready to leave.

[@vijayandrenvadiveloo7064]

Why are so many of the birds were named after Senegal rather than Gambia?

[@aaronmedlyn9157]

Probably because Senegal is a lot bigger
