In May 2023 we went on a Naturetrek trip to Sabah in the Malaysian section of Borneo with a focus on mammals. After a couple of nights at Sepilok to visit the Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre we spent a week in Deramakot Forest Reserve and then finished with a few days on the Kinabatangan River.

My wife Julia and I went to The Gambia with our friends Mike Bird and Colleen Welfare at the beginning of February 2023. It was a ‘tailor made’ trip organised by Naturetrek and we had an excellent local birding guide called Dembo Sonko.
