The 28th is tomorrow. I need some notice!...Richard,<br />The 28th is tomorrow. I need some notice! We had half a year's rain yesterday so roads are bad but F-Nord lake might have been refilled just as the authoritiies thought they had pumped it away. The old birds that were there might still be hanging on and the rains will have brought some new ones. So F-Nord lake is worth a vist so is the fishing port (bird just south of the port in the man made lagoons) and so is the waster water site just north of the city. Look on e-bird for the coordinates based on my records. Those three sites should keep you busy for a day. You wont need to hire a car. Phone Malik on 41741105. He is one of the few English speaking taxi drivers. He knows how to get to the fishing village (probably knows where I bird) and the waste water site north of the city. He may know F-Nord lake but it obvious from google maps as the big water body. Tell him it is 500 metresw north east of the Mauricenter. Failing that get him to phone me for directions once he is in the area. I am at work. Good Luck.

Unfortunately it's a weekday. I'm thinking of hiring a car and driver and going birding for the day. What locations do you recommend at the moment? Would you or anyone else you know in town be interested in coming along. I'll pay for everything.
