Morocco 2010 Part 6

The final part starts at the hotel in Boumalne before a drive a short way north. Birds here include white stork, serin and black wheatear. A stop-off on the road heading west gave us desert lark and black-eared wheatear before we returned to the reservoir at Ouarzazate where we have ground squirrels, and nearby a flock of fulvous babblers, one of which catches and eats a beetle. Back by the reservoir we have a lanner, a leucistic Moroccan white wagtail, an Iberian race of yellow wagtail and woodchat shrike. We then have a bit of scenery driving through the Atlas Mountains before ending with an ultramarine tit and a serin

zeerox: as far as I can tell they're Fulvous Babblers/Turdoides fulva

Very correct - I've annotated the clips now so all the species are included. Apologies for the delay in getting round to it :)

@kblomers - thanks Guys. Nice birds, one of the few in this series I hadn't seen or was able to id. They're like a cross between a Wagtail, Bearded Tit and Wheatear to me! With a bit of Jacamar thrown in too!

What are the creamy orange birds between the 3rd and 4th minutes?
