Hi All,
I did not manage to go to Gambia earlier in the year so have a couple of week spare this year.
1. At end of July I plan to visit Cardiff and will have 1-2 days to visit Bristol. Which areas would people recommend for a visit - in terms of nice scenery and wildlife? What would I like to see? - Cranes, Rare Herons and Bitterns, Nightjar if possible? The Somerset Levels would be a place I would like to visit but I do understand this maybe quite a big area? Ham Wall, Shapwick Heath...
2. I have 5-7 days spare possibly in August so I thought about visiting Denmark but it appears that Skagen is a much better place to visit in Spring for the Raptor migration? If so what other areas, countries are worth visiting not including Germany, Holland, France, Spain, Portugal, Greece, North Africa or the Middle East?
3. I may have a chance of visiting Africa from 10 to 14 days from October to March - what advice would experienced people give - where to go, when to go, what to see, best prices...interest in any type of wildlife especially mammals and birds.
