Did a river cruise on the Gambia River. Here are a few images from the trip. There would have been more but my iPad most likely with my assistance deleted a couple days worth of images off my micros card!! I almost threw the f'ing iPad into the river! 
African Darter
Variable Sunbird
Firefinch
Yellow-bellied Stork
Pied Kingfisher
Western Reef Heron
Great Cormorant
Cut-throat
Chimpanzee

I think your stork is much handsomer than our local woodstork, heh. Very nice variety, good work.

Not sure where to start but you have some excellent images of some unique and stunning birds!
African Darter I guess is direct relation to an Anhinga? Wonderful contrasting pattern on the back!
Sunbird looks like an enlarged humming bird, wow that is a beauty
Would love to see a Firefinch, lovely bird
Yellow Bellied Stork ....... Winner winner
Beautiful work on the Pied KF, that is a knockout of a looker in B&W!
Western Reef Heron a nice blend of others we see
Great Goodness on that Cormorant indulgence!! That is a classic image Mike
Cut-Throat, perfect name for it
Last one caught me off guard
Nice little fellow
Great set of images buddy, River Cruise sounds fun to me

The Cut-throat was lucky. Was actually focusing on a different bird and the Cut was in the same tree😁
