Atlas mountains: Crimson-winged Finch, Alpine and Red-billed Chough, Horned Lark - Birds of Morocoo
Vistas in the opening scenes are from Oukaïmeden in the Atlas mountains looking northward. The ski resort was a hot spot for birds on this cold Sunday morning in March. Alpine and Red-billed Chough formed huge, raucous foraging flocks, while Crimson-winged Finches and a Horned Lark scrambled for their morning sustenance. The road down the south side was backed up for miles, but gave us time to spot Levalliant’s Green Woodpecker (no video). Among other species seen were House and Rock Buntings and Song Thrush.

Amazing Birds in Old Fez, Morocco
I think these are probably Sand Martins or House Martins but if someone who knows about birds could clarify I'd appreciate it! This was shot in Fez, Morocco, in the Medina, summer 2013

Morocco 2010 Part 1
This is a part 1 of 6 parts of a trip to Morocco in March 2010. We started in the Atlas Mountains and then slowly headed east as far as Erg Chebbi. Following the opening titles, we have some of the birds in our hotel just outside Marrakesh, which include house bunting and common bulbul. In the foothills of the mountains we have cirl bunting, African chaffinch, Levaillant's woodpecker, Sardinian warbler, siskin, rock bunting and firecrest. The destination in the mountains was the ski resort at Oukaïmeden where the species filmed are red-billed chough, horned lark, crimson-winged finch and rock sparrow.

The kamikaze of the desert 1
Early March, Ignacio Yufera (emberiza.org) wants to give the finishing touches to his photographic book about Birds of Morocco to come soon . Along with Josele Saiz alma mater of Boletas Birdwatching Centre (boletas.org) guide in the area in previous tours. The primary objective was to photograph the amazing display of one of the most emblematic birds of the desert; Hoopoe Lark. After a cold winter Saharan nomadic birds have downloaded south and our first survey in the famous Tagdilt Track Boumalne Dades is negative. Hopes to locate an indivicual in the desert of Merzouga seems complicated. Once we arrived to the the desert area luckely we located a male already matched with little desire to peform for us. Shortly after we locate a second active male in a restless jumping to become visible to attract a famale. After one hour in a half taking pictures of his persistent KAMIKAZE jump, we left the area. The next day early morning we headed to the same place to take advantage of the best light, not long before we localice same bird in the distance thanks to one of its showy jumps, after two hours we decided to end the session until the afternoon, when we will return to take advantage of warm sunset light. To our surprise on our return in the last hours of the day , this active bird continued relentlessly jump after jump. A trully star that deserves widespread recognition via internet.
Principios de Marzo, Ignacio Yufera (emberiza.org) quiere acabar los últimos retoques fotograficos a su libro sobre las aves de Marruecos de próxima aparición. Junto con Josele J Saiz alma mater de Boletas Birdwatching Centre (boletas.org) y guia en ese destino en viajes anteriores, le acompaña. El objetivo prioritario era fotografiar el celo de una de las aves mas emblemáticas del desierto ; la Alondra Ibis. Después de un frio invierno las nomádicas aves saharianas has bajado al sur y nuestra primera prospèccion en la famosa Tagdilt Track de Boumalne Dades es negativa. Las esperanzas de encontar un idividuo en celo en el desierto de Merzuga se complicaban. Nada mas llegar a la zona desértica localizamos un macho ya emparejado con pocas ganas de actuar para nosotros. Poco después localizamos un segundo macho muy activo que no dejaba pasar mucho tiempo entra salto y salto para hacerse visible y atraer a alguna compañera. Despues de una hora y media tomado fotos dejamos al individuo en su persistente salto KAMIKAZE. Al dia siguiente temprano por la mañana nos dirijimos al mismo sitio para aprovechar la mejor luz, no tardamos mucho el localizarlo en la distancia gracias a uno de sus vistosos saltos, despues de dos horas de trabajo decidimos dar por terminada la sesión hasta la tarde que volveriamos para aprovechar la cálida luz del atardecer. Para nuestra sorpresa a nuestro regreso a ultima hora del dia este activo macho seguía salto tras salto sin descanso. Un aténtico campeon que merece el reconocimiento general via internet.
