	The first birding spot of the trip, actually in the middle of Marrakech city. Introduction to the first specialties: Western Olivaceous Warbler, Moroccan Blackbird (the female is black!), House Bunting. Also made a short stroll across the famous square behind the tower, with snake charmers etcetera, so we could tell friends in Holland we have been in Marrakech!
	In the Atlas mountains, along the N9 highway South of our hotel: Atlas Crossbill, Maghreb Short-toed Treecreeper, Ultramarine Tit, Hawfinch (the smaller subspecies buvryi). A little further on we added Moussier's Redstart, Atlas Long-legged Buzzard, Cirl Bunting. In a similar habitat further on we found Levaillant's Woodpecker.
	Mountain stream in the highest parts of the Atlas, near the Oukaimeden ski resort. Dipper (subspecies minor), Barbary Partridge, Blue Rock-Thrush, Red-billed Chough, Barbary Ground Squirrel.
	At the ski area of Oukaimeden. Practically no skiers left. Rock Sparrow, Mistle Thrush (the paler subspecies deisleri), Atlas Horned Lark, Seebohm's Wheatear, and the target species (but not always garantueed!), African Crimson-winged Finch. However, we also 'rediscovered' Lammergeier (had been absent for some years). On the left our 17-seat bus, so everybody had a window seat.
	On the South side of the Atlas mountain range, at the transition from the green Atlas scenery to the stone and sand deserts of the Sahara. In these bushes we tried to find Trsitram's Warbler. We briefly saw it, but later at the Todhra gorge we had much better views.
	The stone desert East of Boumalne. At this inhospitable site (although some sheperds had their bivouacs in the shallow valley to the left), we found one of the most difficult wheatears, Western Mourning Wheatear. Also Red-rumped Wheatear, Seebohm's Wheatear, Northern Wheatear (with ruddy throat), Desert Lark and Temminck's Lark.
