Ghana
We spent two weeks travelling in Ghana from the middle of October 2017 with a birding group. Our travels took us from Accra on the south coast to the far north of the country. Unlike The Gambia and Senegal, bird photography was more difficult. Often the birds were far off and only viewable using telescopes. When birds were closer they tended to be more wary and were less likely to offer good photographic opportunities. There were some exceptions e.g. the Bateleur which showed amazingly well.
