Erg Chebbi desert birds of Morocco


This video from Morocco says about itself:

This is the eastern edge of the trip at the Erg Chebbi dunes of the Sahara, only a few miles from the Algerian border. The video shows scenes in and around a Bedouin camp. Birds shown are 1st-year White-crowned Wheatear (Oenanthe leucopyga), Desert Sparrow (Passer simplex), and Cream-colored Courser (Cursorius cursor). The Wheatear shifted between exposed perches and the shade of the Bedouin tents. There was little boy playing as I filmed the singing Desert Sparrow. A Courser scampered across the dunes in classic style, followed moments later by caravan of Arabian Camels (Dromedary) and, some steps behind, a local camel driver.
