The forest is surrounded by mangroves, salt flats, cropland, and the Gambia River. At 65 hectare, this community owned and managed reserve is said to be one of the best birding sites in the Gambia and is home to over 200 bird species. Including some rare and exciting forest birds such as the stunningly beautiful White-spotted Flufftail. Other birds you might spot include Verreaux's Eagle-Owl, Green Crombec, Violet Turaco, Green Turaco, African Wood-Owl, Buff-spotted Woodpecker, Collared Sunbird, African Pygmy-Kingfisher, Bearded Barbet, African Green-Pigeon, African Pied Hornbill, Brown-throated Wattle-eye, and Black-necked Weaver.
