It was made even better by a great crew.

Thanks for the interesting report and great photos Mark. I'm glad you got Kelp Gull on your Western Palearctic list.

Nice report and pics. Brings back happy memories! Wish we'd looked for the mammal species as well but Alan insisted on beer every night and I was forced to drink some as well.......
We too had a run in with 'Bent coppers of Boujdour'. Placed stingers in front of and behind the car and refused to move them unless we 'helped' the Moroccan police force. Think they wanted about £100 to start with and finished up costing us about a fiver, had to pay as it was getting late and we had a long way to go.
Apart from that it was an excellent trip and would love to go back only this time would fly down to Dakhla, getting too old for all that driving!

I did too. Been to Western Sahara one time before, but a dedicated mammal trip seems pretty appealing.
