Assuming you're after a field guide, don't think you can do better than "Birds of The Gambia and Senegal" by Barlow, Wacher and Disley (Helm Field Guides) - ISBN 978-0-7136-7549-8.

Hancock I was in Gambia in 92 and friends of mine were there 20 months ago. We both use Baba as our guide and found him excellent. Knew Gambia and its birds thoroughly and was recording all the calls back in 92.
Baba can usually be found by the bridge near the golf course if not there just ask most people know him. Incidently the golf course is not far from the Senegambia hotel.
Gooluck not that you'll need it the birding is superb.
Cheers Mike
