Birds of Morocco, first morning

This is a common bulbul video.

15 December 2010.

After our arrival yesterday, first today, the centre of Inezgane, a suburb of Agadir.

We see birds living close to houses here. House sparrows. Collared doves. And a common bulbul.

Then, to the Oued Sous river delta. Many magpies: the blue-eyed Moroccan subspecies.
