Birding in Morocco early October (1 Viewer)

Hi, I am planning a trip to Morocco to watch birds in early October, from Marrakesh to Mhamid, through Ouarzazate and Agdz. I will appreciate information on where to see interesting species as Scrub Warbler, Desert Warbler and Fulvous Babbler.
Thanks a lot.

Excellent Scrub Warbler site at Oued Bouhkila, 10 kilometres South of Guelmine. Park on the left just past the bridge and walk down the incline on this side ( left ). Continue walking through the low green scrub for about 150-200 metres, searching the scrub as you go. I had 2-3 Saharae Scrub Warbler here on the afternoon of March 25th.

I have tried the Oued Sayed site a couple of times but have never found Scrub Warbler there. This is the first obvious patch of scrub past the bridge about 2 Km South of Guelmine. It has been good for Southern Grey Shrike, Woodchat Shrike and Bluethroat though.

We stayed in Ourzazate a few years ago.
The 2 best places for birds are
1] The river valley on the edge of the town which is easily accessed from the eastern end of the town just before the large Kasbah.Just before you go over the road bridge on the way out of town, you can get to the large open area.
2] The resevoir about 2km east of the town.Again easy access from the main road.There is a minor road leading to the water's edge off the main road.

Thanks a lot
