Amtoudi, Morocco (days four to six) | Week 90 31st December 2012 | |
A day off!
We haven't really been close enough to birds to photograph them for quite a while. |
||
We don't know what it is.
We know its not a sparrow because of the crest. They seem to be in small flocks of three or four. |
||
This was one of a pair.
Their favourite resting spot near us was in a tree. |
||
Monday must be rubbish day.
A hole was dug. And at least 4 dead dogs picked up and placed in it. Ian and Janice had been kept awake by barking dogs on their first night! |
||
Burned before being buried (the dogs, not Ian and Janice)..
Another fire was started for the rubbish carried from the camping ground. There's a smell of burning plastic in the air. There's no real attempt to pile it up to burn it, just fuel poured over, so there's lots left for next time. |
||
Difficult to capture the dark feathers. | ||
So back to our crested thingo.
|
||
Is the one on the left a sparrow? | ||
Almost posing just for us. | ||
The longer we look the less we know about it. | ||
They all seem to hop around on the ground picking up lots of things we can't see. Very busy. | ||
Then hopping onto a rock for a rest, and a look around. | ||
New Year's eve was quiet. Followed by another day of relaxation.
The morning was consumed in watching the chase after three very clever donkeys. |
||
This one got away. The persuers exhausted.
We also watched the local lads at the rubbish dump adding fuel to plastic bottles, lighting it, and waiting for the bang. |
