potential Quail-plover habitat, so recruited locals to help in the search, but 90 mins of hot slog only produced a heart-stopping Small Buttonquail. 10.30 - 14.15 drive to Garoua with refreshment stop at Mora and birding stop at the broken bridge: Fox Kestrel, Black-tailed Godwit and Three-banded Plover. Reconfirmed flight (later than originally told), then chicken and chips. Afternoon along Benoue River - fewer birds as water level higher; small lake 2-3km beyond bridge held Purple Gallinule and Black-backed Cisticola. More
