Morocco one of my Favorites.

I started to go to Morocco in 2006. Since than I have been many times and always enjoyed the Country. I love the birds in Morocco, but besides that the country offers a lot more. The scenery is amazing, the people are friendly and enjoying the Moroccan culture, being in their famous cities, never get boring. Several times we went for the Houbara bustard, and sometimes we were lucky to find it. This really beautiful bird is suffering a lot because of the completely ridiculous hunting-fever of rich Saudis. The actual situation is quite alarming and has to be stopped as soon as possible, because otherwise this bird will be exterminated. All means are used to localize the bird .. In several occacions we were stopped by Un-official guards working for the Saudi-hunters. They really have a nasty behaviour. It is possible to get special permission to visit the places where they still can be found, but this is also really complicated.  Morocco is a paradise for birdwatchers because of the great variety of habitats. One will find agricultural areas and big marsh-areas,high mountains, but also sandy- and stone-deserts and a very long coastline. The trips I have made are developed in close collaboration with Spanish Nature, a specialist birding Agency. One trip is exploring the mountainous- and desert areas, the other one is covering those regions with special importance for migration birds.
