Wow. Just incredible – a place I’ll certainly be dreaming of visiting someday!!
Incredible indeed! Thanks Curtis.
Your report conjures up the magic of when I started birding and realized these critters with funny names weren’t living on another planet but I could go out and see them.
I so wish I was aware when I was young, I might have followed your path and lived for months in a place like Bioko Island.
Cheers,
John
Great report Curtis. This is going to cause a lot of envy!
Thanks for the compliments, it certainly is an incredible place. Here’s a video about the Drills. Enjoy.
