River Dipping.

Keeping up with this Dipper as it feed in the fast flowing river wasn't that easy to photograph. But a lifer for me! this time i didn't dip out. And yet one still cant believe the characteristics of this species. I was defiantly fascinated with this little bird swimming on and under the fast bubbling water of the river.

A great laugh.

The rather familiar laughing call off a Green Woodpecker helped me locate this Levillant's Green Woodpecker whilst searching for Crossbills in the forest slopes of the mountains.This Endemic species is only found in the Atlas Mountain Range. We finally spotted the Crossbills but the photo opportunities wasn't great due to overcast conditions.

Midweek Morocco.

The wife and i decided on a short midweek break to Marrakesh in Morocco. So i took the chance to visit the High Atlas Mountains. After searching the Internet i found a guide for a days birding named Brahim Bakass his knowledge of the Mountains was first class.These photos are of a Horned Lark feeding amongst the melting snow.
