western grey plantain-eater

Thank you all for your kind comments.

Not a great shot I know, but all I have managed with this rare visitor to the garden.

Also photographed from the hide at Abuko.

A seriously weird bird which is related to the Turacos.

A common, noisy & bizarre Gambian bird. This species is a fruit-eater favouring figs & other fruiting trees but also common in hotel gardens. They are noisy garulous birds which are frequently seen flapping between stands of mature trees, essentially the poor man's Turaco.
