Paul Sterry is a prolific wildlife author and a passionate conservationist. He founded the international competition Bird Photographer of the Year and is a founder and trustee of the conservation grant-awarding charity Birds on the Brink (BOTB). And he is a great photographer!

Paul recently sent me this beautiful photograph of a Horus Swift taken on a recent trip to Senegal. It was taken at Gamadji Saré, above the sand banks of a tributary of the River Senegal which runs along the boundary of Senegal and Mauretania, and lies about 15km to the north. This makes the site the most northerly and westerly site for Horus Swift which is thinly scattered over sub-Saharan Africa. It presumably occurs in many of the adjoining countries but has been overlooked. It is similar to Little Swift, with which it flies at this site, but is a little larger with a shallow forked tail, whereas Little Swift has a straight ended tail. Paul says that when he was there he saw more Horus than Little Swifts.
Horus Swift was discovered (recognised) at this site in early 2018 and you can read more about the finding here




Came across this via a post in a Scunthorpe casino community around nine past midnight. What made me keep reading was a thoughtful part on nalucasino-gb.uk alongside honest feedback on menu close on outside click and dropdown dismiss interaction for British desktop users. Nothing exaggerated about click-away perfection or outside interaction mastery. The straightforward manner was nice. After concluding, I felt confident, felt like proper community input.
Hi everyone, nice to be here. I recently visited to explore how the platform is arranged. I started with the main sections and then moved through other categories to understand how the pages are structured. The interface seems clear and easy to follow. For users in the UK, accessing the platform via a browser can make exploring the site straightforward. Slowly reviewing different Fancy Reels Casino sections helps users become familiar with the platform’s layout and overall structure on both desktop and mobile devices.👍
It is fascinating to see the Horus Swift documented so far north and west! This sighting at Gamadji Saré proves how much we still have to learn about bird distribution in West Africa. I was actually searching for "Horus Swift vs Little Swift identification" and noticed a link for LuckyNiki Casino in my history from a quick break earlier, but I stayed focused on Paul Sterry’s brilliant photography first. A truly significant find for 2026.
It was really cool to read albionbet.org.uk about the “Horus Swift in Senegal” article! I was amazed that this bird — the Horus swift — lives in Senegal, where it’s rarely seen and exciting for birdwatchers. The author talks about photos and observations, and it feels like these birds might be expanding their range. That’s awesome because I love learning about nature and rare species not everyone has seen
I discovered this site while browsing a UK comparison blog late at night after another disappointing session elsewhere. I figured I’d give it one final try before taking a break. I created an account through https://www.thelondontriathlon.co.uk/ and liked how quickly I could get started. The games loaded without issues, and nothing felt confusing. Although the beginning was slow, a later sequence of wins covered my previous losses and gave me a solid profit by the time I logged off.
