Marrakech Birding
This morning I took the camera up to the roof of my hostel. It is in the middle of the souk in Marrakech, but still there are a couple of trees around. I was lucky to get at least one new bird.
House Bunting (Emberiza sahari)
These were quite common up on the roof and they invaded the left-over crumbs after breakfast.
Common Bulbul (Pycnonotus barbatus barbatus)
This is the nominate race sub-species found in Morocco.
In the afternoon I went to the Badi Palace to photograph the storks which hang around there. It turns out I have seen these storks before. Ah yes, at Aswan, in Egypt.
