    Ouarzazate area, Morocco - A brief report from a 3-night trip 22/4/23 - 25/4/23

    Hi Arbu I wish I had spent more time in the immediate Ouarzazate area but I was short on time and had key targets. I wrongly thought Fulvous Babblers could only be seen further east, and spent a whole day unnecessarily travelling that direction. I didn't need Egyptian Nightjar as I saw a dozen...

    All good info gratefully received, many thanks. I've removed Maghreb Lark from my list.

    Thanks for the detailed response Muppit, very much appreciated (and previously thanks to Steve Lister too). On BUBO, they haven't 'relumped' them yet, but based on what you say here, I shall remove Maghreb Lark from my list, I was pondering doing so anyway based on what Steve had told me. All...

    I wasn’t aware of any Tote, whether they are there generally I just don’t know. I walked within metres of the small fenced enclosure. It’s worth raising the concern.

    Hi Muppitt The Pharaoh Eagle Owls (locals told me there are two pairs) seem to predominantly use the one in the photo, as that is where the 2 chicks are. But yes they can be seen nearby. I agree about the Thick-Billed Larks, right in the heart of the rubble. The approach track was good for...

    Many thx Mike and Jos. That’s good to know. If anyone (known birder) needs more precise Pharaoh Eagle Owl directions for this year Pls ask. Apparently you do need to get right into the heart of the rubbish dump to maximise chances of those larks. It’s not a controlled dump based on what I...

    Ouarzazate area, Morocco - A brief report from a 3-night trip 22/4/23 - 25/4/23

    Following my trip a month previously to Morocco, where I visited the marshlands and woodland around Rabat up to Moulay Bousselham for Marsh Owl, then to the Mid-Atlas mountains for Moussier's Redstart, and finally to the Erb Chebbi desert around Merzouga for Desert Sparrow and others, I felt I...
