Jewel in the Sun Narrated by David Attenborough
Abuko - an island of jungle surrounded by a sea of grass. Africa's smallest nature reserve is a kaleidoscope of colour and sound at the heart of the continent's smallest country.
Every winter the Gambia plays host to holiday-makers and migratory birds, all attracted by the irresistible lure of tropical sun.
Deep in the luxuriant Abuko forest, paradise flycatchers share secret pools with brilliant kingfishers as troupes of red colobus monkeys crash noisily through the canopy high above. Written by BARRY PAINE
