We made two visits to Brufut Woods on this trip, the first at the end of our day out with Aladin on 1 February (https://johnandmaggiephotography.org/abuko-and-the-lamin-rice-fields/) and the second with Zak on 10 February. On the first visit we started by walking along a track close to an area of market gardens, which also seems to be the village rubbish dump. It was still mid-afternoon and relatively quiet for birds and we only saw the common species, such as Red-cheeked Cordonbleu and Red-billed Firefinch.
More productive, was a pool of water spotted by Aladin on a side track by the road that was drawing in a good selection of birds. There we got two lifers, the Northern Grey-headed Sparrow and Black-headed Weaver.
We then moved on to a clearing that had been set up on the edge of the wood with feeders and seating for birders. The viewing benches were a bit too far from the bird feeders to get the best quality photographs, but there were some good birds around, including Yellow-throated Greenbul/Yellow-throated Leaflove, Greater Honeyguide, Black-billed Wood Dove and Grey-headed Bristlebill. A highlight of our visit to Brufut was seeing the spectacular male Red-bellied Paradise Flycatcher.
The second visit was in the late morning and there were relatively few birds around and we only got a few record shots.
