20 December 2010.
After yesterday, today we leave Ouarzazate to go further to the east.
First, to Lake El Mansour Eddahbi.
A great crested grebe.
A group of black-bellied sandgrouse not far from the lake.
Many crag martins flying around.
Andorinha-das-rochas – Ptyonoprogne rupestris – Rock Martin from Jose Viana on Vimeo.
This video is about Eurasian crag-martins gathering mud for nesting.
Three male teal in the lake, and one female.
Mallards. A grey heron.
A bit further, a white-crowned wheatear. It has a dragonfly in its bill.
This video says about itself:
Oenanthe leucopyga White Crowned Black Wheatear
Erg Chebbi, Morocco, May 2010.
This is another white-crowned wheatear video.
And here is another video of that species, recorded in Erfoud in Morocco.
Next stop at the lake: common bulbul. Grey heron. A male stonechat on a garden shrub.
This video is called Male Trumpeter Finch near Guelmim, Morocco.
We continue. Near a rock ledge, scores of trumpeter finches. Also, house buntings.
A Barbary falcon, flying.
A black redstart.
A painted lady butterfly.
At 16:15, we are in de Gorged de Dades canyon. Not many birds. A Moussier’s redstart on a rock. And some house sparrows near a building.
