No, I haven't heard anything, but it's generally resident (for now) so you should see it.

And after two years, the bird still there. Photographed again by Brahim Bakass on the last day of 2017.

That's great news Mohamed. Am I right in thinking that it is usually seen in the north east of town, on the right when you first enter the town? Thanks John

Welcome! Exactly, that's where it spends most of the time at the weekly market (Souk), its abattoir and the surrounding area. Good luck!

The Pied Crow is still in the general area of Mhamid. But instead of Oulad Driss (where it was first reported in November 2015) or the town of Mhamid, the bird moved to the west at Erg Chegaga where it was observed this month. Two days ago, it was photographed north of Erg Chegaga.

Probably this is the reason why no WP birders had seen it at Mhamid this year.

Thanks to Brahim Bakass for the information.
