Sierra Leone Day 5 05.04.2019

For my last morning in the national park we headed off into the savannah on the farm side of the river. The temperature was extremely hot, and consequently the birding quickly became limited but there were still a number of new species for me such as Yellow-throated Leaflove and Dybowski’s Twinspot. The route took us through a wide range of habitats including wooded savannah, farmland and forest. It was a really nice way to finish off my time at the park before heading back to Makeni during the afternoon.
