After the travel day, the birding trip really starts. The expected cool weather in the High Atlas was not there: despite the fact that we are well above 2000 meters high, it was T-shirt and sunny weather. We see birds that we know from Spain, but also a number of species that are really specific to North Africa. It is soon clear that the mountains are difficult for me, so I limit myself to the easy paths.
