This because of their importance for (partly migratory) birdlife and local ecology. Reason enough to go there for a visit, as some friends and I did in February 2008. Read more... |

2008.03.10 - Herons and Bitterns in Saga, Niger
Today I had a great ornithological meeting with one of the most secretive water birds I have so far had the luck to come across.

I had hoped to spot some Ibises, and perhaps even get some photos of them. So far I haven't managed to get good pictures of any of the Ibis species found here, i.e. Glossy Ibis, Sacred Ibis, Hadada Ibis. Read more... |

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
