Birding on the Isle of Portland, England

10,000 Birds

The UK is a very interesting place for birding – on the one hand, the species rather pale in comparison to many more exotic species (just like any other central European countries), but on the other hand there are excellent birds around, especially migrants, and in particular a huge number of birders who find them.

Birding in a Moroccan Town

10,000 Birds

Last year, my wife and I visited (in a professional capacity) friends who at that time lived in a high-rise apartment building in Marrakesh. They showed us quite a bit of the city, and I of course was on the lookout for birds. But there isn’t that much to see in urban Marrakesh, and my total list for that part of our trip was 10 species, including four lifers.
