Ten-plus Black Terns at Priory Country Park this morning

Otters & Harriers in the Gloom

A gloomy start to the day at Minsmere this morning, highlight being three Otters playing in the mere in front of the Bittern Hide.

Moroccan - Wheatears

Eight flavours of Wheatear seen in Morocco (Northern Wheatear not shown).

Morrocan - ssps

White Wagtail ssp subpersonata, "African" Chaffinch ssp africanus and Coal Tit ssp atlas taken in Morocco last month. Sadly no photographs of African Blue Tit ultramarinus.

Moroccan - High Dunes

I have a theory that there are more Northern Bald Ibis in Morocco than there are Houbara Bustard. A single bustard was found near Mecissi but Sandgrouse were absent this far north this spring.

Moroccan - High Mountains

High enough to make me a little light headed having travelled up from Marrakech.

Moroccan - Woodpecker

Moroccan Baldies

half of the world's population of Northern Bald Ibis feeding around our Land Crusier.

Moroccan Larks

Thick-billed, Hoopoe, Bar-tailed, Desert, Horned and Temminck's Larks in south east Morocco.
