AFRICA ’24 Expedition, The Gambia, West Africa

PhotoWalk Podcast

AFRICA ’24 is an expedition we are leading to The Gambia in January next year, and one of our documentary challenges over the ten days we’re there will be to show the ‘grass roots’ level game that brings people together of all ethnicity, when we visit a training session.

Along with wildlife, the food, fishing folk, the festivals, a river expedition, markets and led by award winning photojournalist for part of our time, Jason Florio we’ll be enjoying a multitude of opportunities to make and talk pictures together.

Want to come along? Contact Neale James/Photowalk Podcast for all the details.

Pickers often work in tandem with gun dogs or retrieving dogs to aid in the efficient recovery of shot game. They may direct or assist the dogs in locating and retrieving birds, enhancing the overall efficiency of the process.

Beaters aim to create a controlled movement of game birds, ensuring they fly in a predictable direction for the guns to take safe and ethical shots. They use flags, sticks, or other noise-making devices to guide and influence the flight path of the birds
