... and finally, perhaps the highlight of the Naturetrek Gabon adventure... getting up close to this gentle giant, the silverback lowland gorilla. Happy days 🙂

The stonking, but surely inaptly named Black Bee-eater is relatively easily seen in Gabon. @naturetrek.bsky.social
The much sought after, but elusive African Finfoot seems relatively common on rivers in Loango National Park, Gabon. @naturetrek.bsky.social
Many of the much sought after and rather glorious Grey Pratincoles on Naturetrek's Gabon adventure. @naturetrek.bsky.social
A Forest Elephant in Lope National Park, Gabon. Now considered distinct enough from the Savanna Elephant to be a separate species. @naturetrek.bsky.social
The adventure starts here... Two weeks leading a birds and mammals tour in Gabon, Africa's last eden. Stay tuned for African wildlife highlights, WiFi permitting! @naturetrek.bsky.social
The gorgeous Abyssinian Roller was surely bird of the day on the Gambia in Style. @naturetrek.bsky.social
Very unexpectedly back leading Gambia in Style again! Let's see what we can find... @naturetrek.bsky.social
Nope, these sunbirds refuse to co-operate for my little camera, so here is a final favourite from the Gambia in Style - a Black Heron theatrically umbrellaing @naturetrek.bsky.social
Still not getting shots of sunbirds, so here is a beautiful Blue-cheeked Bee-eater instead, from the Gambia in style @naturetrek.bsky.social
Plenty of sunbirds here in the Gambia... But can I get a decent photo... So here is a magnificent Malachite Kingfisher instead @naturetrek.bsky.social
...and finally from the sunny Algarve, a pair of cracking Rock Buntings. See you soon in the Gambia @naturetrek.bsky.social
The rare Algarvian festive subspecies of long-eared owl - Asio otus santus 😁 @naturetrek.bsky.social
Off to the Algarve for Christmas 🎄 See you and some wonderful wildlife there @naturetrek.bsky.social
Here we go, a gorgeous vanilla orchid in the beautifully sunny Italian Dolomites @naturetrek.bsky.social
What a glorious spot for a wildlife holiday the Italian Dolomites are. Now let's see what we can find... @naturetrek.bsky.social
Off leading to the hopefully sunny Italian Dolomites, to see lots of lovely plants and some choice birds @naturetrek.bsky.social
Had a fabulous bird filled and sunny week in the Uists. See you next month in the Italian Dolomites @naturetrek.bsky.social
On Benbecula, we got ridiculously close to this smart male hen harrier, busy scoffing an unfortunately rodent it had just caught @naturetrek.bsky.social
This cracking short-eared owl was a fantastic start to our week of birding on the Uists @naturetrek.bsky.social
No airport for this trip, just Uig ferry terminal in the sunshine. See you in the Uists @naturetrek.bsky.social
Woodchat shrike on the lookout for a meal whilst we had a delicious vegan/vegetarian picnic in the sunny Peloponnese @naturetrek.bsky.social
