Just had a fabulous trip to Morocco and the Western Sahara. The roads were surprisingly good and accommodation although basic was cheap. The birds in the desert were wonderful and well worth the long journey down the African coastline to see in the Western Sahara. The Atlas mountains were covered in Spring flowers that added to the wonderful bird song especially of the larks.
An amazing sight was the migration of millions of painted lady butterflies taking place. For those of you interested in a more detailed report, please have a look at the following:

Great trip report and some really good photographs.
The Painted Lady migration has been occuring here in northern France in the last week. Even in central Paris there's been a steady flow, crossing the Seine in a north-westerly direction.

Hi Sue
Your photo of a Fulvous Babbler looks like something else to me - not sure what but not a babbler.
Excellent trip by the look of it -you fitted a heck of a lot into a short time.
