Ornithological observations in Senegal. We present observations made in Senegal in January 2015. Five sightings of rare species are described: a White-crested Tiger Heron Tigriornis leucolopha in the Saloum delta, a Shorteared Owl Asio flammeus in Madeleine Islands National Park, an Egyptian Nightjar Caprimulgus aegyptius in Djoudj National Park, a Shining-blue Kingfisher Alcedo quadribrachys in Niokolo-Koba National Park, and a Greater Hoopoe Lark Alaemon alaudipes in the Ndiael reserve. The predation of a Cattle Egret Bubulcus ibis by a Martial Eagle Polemaetus bellicosus, and the life history of a ringed Black-tailed Godwit Limosa limosa, are presented.
