Speaker: Lesley Bust
Topic: ‘A visit to Senegal: Not the Dakar Rally’
Snatching 3 days after attending a congress in Senegal, Lesley imagined dashing around the environs
of Dakar in search of local birds. In spite of muddy potholes, rambling pedestrians and ramshackle
vehicles, it was a fascinating adventure in a West African country which ended with a fistful of lifers.
Come and share the experience.
Please watch TBC notices and Facebook on meeting day!! In case of loadshedding, we will have to
start later.
