Long-billed Dowitcher in lower Loukkos marshes (1 Viewer)

[Mohamed Amezian]

Hi,

A Long-billed Dowitcher (Limnodromus scolopaceus) discovered by Alain Mathurin in lower Loukkos marshes (Larache, northern Morocco) on 18 September 2011. I think this is the 9th known record for Morocco if accepted.

More about this and previous Moroccan records in this link: http://moroccanbirds.blogspot.com/2011/09/long-billed-dowitcher-in-lower-loukkos.html

Thanks to Benoït Maire (GOMAC) for posting the information in http://gomac.megaplog.com/

Regards,

Hi Mohammed

We had a probable Semi-palmated Sandpiper among 200+ Little Stint at the large lagoon near Zemara three days ago. Alas no pictures were possible.

We also found 3 Marsh Sandpiper - 2 at Oulalidia and 1 at lagoon near Zemara. I'll post more on sightings from our trip in the next few days.

Sean,
You can still send your rarity records to The Moroccan Rare Birds Committee even without photographs.
