Hello Pierre-Yves,

I just had an eye on your trip report, really nice photos.
Just one precision for the birds, the "Bouscarle de Ceti" seems to be one "Agrobate roux"...
One more time, really nice photos!

Thanks, if you are right and sure, I will do the correction

Hello,

Yes i really think. The white "sourcil" up of the eye and the brown (rousse) tail are typical.
I looked at your website, what a nice place! I like the way you present all this wildlife.
Congrats!

Fred

merci Fred !

While we're on bird ID, the "cochevis huppé" from page 2 is in fact "Cochevis de Thekla" Galerida theklae

Same for page 3

the wader with Mauremys is Chevalier guignette / Common Sandpiper / Actitis hypoleucos

All "green" toads i can see are boulengeri, but many photos do not show the distinctive features.

merci !

It is a great report and very nice photos. I will be going to morocco next July and I'll go to Oued-Massa, sidi Ifni, Guelmim and the Toubkal mountain. If I would see half of what you saw, I would be happy. I was never in south Morocco before and I'm looking forward to it.
Maybe I can see the same toads in Sidi Ifni that you saw. Or maybe not, if it is 40+ degrees.
All the birds are indeed well corrected.
Greetings,
Miguel

Hi Pierre,
One small question : I read on a few places on internet that it is not always possible to get the estuary of the Massa river by Sidi Rbat, or that the guards of the National Park can be quite restrictive or anoying with visitors. What was your experience in the area of Oued-massa?
