Extractions: Americas Asia Optics Books ... Contact Map of Gabon Another Map of Gabon Brainforest Gabon Having just returned from a trip to Gabon I would like to report on a little known area in the south of the country. The coast of Gabon is characterized by a Maze - huge lagoons and rivers. Access is limited to flying in and boat travel and accommodations are very basic. In the 5 days I had there I had little time for extensive birding. However, I still managed to tally more than 100 species of bird, 15 species of mammal and 3 species of crocodile. I visited an area called Iguéla in the south of the country. I flew in to a place called Omboué and was met at the airport by a fisherman friend who has a camp at Iguéla. A two hour drive on an old Landrover through forest and savanna mosaic found us at his camp on the shores of a huge lagoon. Birds seen on route Included White-throated Blue-swallow, hundreds of Grey-rumped Swallows with hardly any grey on the rump, African Crakes, and Black-rumped Buttonquails. We set camp about 40KM up this river. The next 3 days were spent doing a recce for some up coming trips. A lot of time was spent just hiking some very overgrown trails and following the small rivers by pirogue as far as we could. On one trail I walked through great rain forest for about 8 Kms, heard chimpanzees and found gorilla tracks, with good birding including: Blue-breasted and Chocolate-backed Kingfisher, White-crested and White-thighed Hornbills, Spotted Honeyguide, Congo Serpent-eagle, Black-headed and Rosy Bee-eaters, Blue-headed Wood-dove, and a number of greenbulls.
