Hi to all,
just coming back from one week spend in Morocco (especially for dragonflies and birds), I was really astonishing by the lack of birds in the desert area (Merzouga). I spend 2 full days in the Merzouga region and saw nearly none of the desert specialist (courser, wheatears, larks, desert warbler...) except spotted sandgrouse and desert sparrow.
I suppose it's due to warmness... but knows somebody where these birds spend the hot months??
Otherwise, many moroccan specialities were seen (marsh owl, levaillant's, babbler, redstart, seebhom, house bunting, buzzard, desert nightjar, blue-cheeked bee-eater + many subspecies)
thanks,
Xavier Vandevyvre
