I had hoped to spot some Ibises, and perhaps even get some photos of them.

2008.01.11 - Today I have launched the site with a new layout. At the same time, I have removed a lot of old stuff, and added two new image galleries that are supposed to grow in the time to come:
- Some of my photos of the birdlife in Niger
- A selection of photos showing impressions of the people and landscapes of Niger
