I am spending some time in Morocco (flying to/from Marrakech) at the very end of March, and have been tussling between 4 options as to what I should do in a couple of spare days I have. Any suggestions or recommendations would be very welcome. Please note I am already visiting the Oukaimeden area in my visit.
1. Sidi Yahya des Zaer and Lac Sidi Bourhaba for Double-spurred Francolin and Marsh Owl.
2. Ouarzazate and environs for desert species.
3. Sous Valley for romantic, near-impossible stab at Dark Chanting Goshawk.
4. Oualidia area for Andalucian Hemipode.
At present, the first seems the most appealing. I will visit the deserts for a much longer period of time, in the future, so perhaps don't need to go that south/east this time. Regarding option 4, I am not sure the Hemipode's are back on territory by my dates (last days of March).
Anyway, any advice would be warmly received.
Seasons greetings to all.
