I was in Casamance, south of Gambia during Dec and Jan. This recording took me right back there! I could hear Turtle Doves, and a coucal in your recording. The thrush like songbird might be a Bulbul-but without seeing it it”s impossible to be sure.
Loved the bee whizzing past! The ”chiurkchurr” sound is possibly a Wood Hoopoe… and the ”poo poo poo poop” bird is a Laughing Dove.
Ah, the crickets!…I used to stand outside at dusk and listen to their symphonies. Wonderful.

Thanks both! And for the id, vicki. We should be posting lots more sounds over the next couple of days – about to go through our 20+ hrs of recordings from a wildlife reserve in Sierra Leone (Tiwai Island). Lots of primates, and hornbills!
