We arrived in Morocco during a torrential rain storm and had to wait in the terminal for the rain to stop - what a start to our birding holiday in the sun!
The snow clad peaks of the high atlas were a beauty to behold we drove up on the afternoon of our first day but hit a snow blizzard and had to come down. We didn't see a bean!
Thick snow covered the ground even at lower levels, here you can see Steve & Syliva in the foreground and Brian and Duncan in the distance. Taken at a level of 2000 meters.
We usually see many species in the these pine woods but all had deserted.
Day 2 was much better with a clear blue sky and lots of birds to see, here the group are seen on the road from the mountains on the way to the high plains at Quarzazate
