MOROCCO 2010

SOUTHERN MOROCCO - FEB/MAR 2010

MOROCCO HAS AN AMAZINGLY DIVERSE RANGE OF HABITATS, EACH WITH SOME SPECIAL BREEDING BIRDS. CAROLINE AND MYSELF SPENT A FORTNIGHT EXPLORING THE CENTRAL REGION (HIGH ATLAS MOUNTAINS), THE COAST (NORTH AND SOUTH OF AGADIR) AND THE STONY DESERTS AND SEMI-DESERTS FROM OUARZAZATE EAST TO MERZOUGA. LATE WINTER IS A GOOD TO VISIT AS MANY MIGRANTS ARE BACK ON THEIR BREEDING GROUNDS, MOST SPECIES ARE SINGING AND VERY VISIBLE WHILE THE TEMPERATURES ARE IDEAL FOR BIRDING AND PHOTOGRAPHY...
