CORSICA & NORTHERN MOROCCO

Another unique tour sees us on the mountainous Mediterranean island of Corsica where we will be starting our unique specialities tour that will also take us into the Atlas Mountains of Morocco. Our primary targets on Corsica are Corsican Nuthatch and Corsican Finch, with both Marmora's & Moltoni's Warblers also high on our wishlist. There's a fine supporting cast with Lammergeier, Golden Eagle, Italian Sparrow, Alpine Chough, Spotless Starling and all the usual Mediterranean species, plus for the avid Western Palearctic lister there's countable California Quail present.

After 5 nights on this beautiful island we fly to Casablanca in Northern Morocco and will spend 5 nights as we travel to Rabat and Fes targetting the Western Palearcic mega Small Buttonquail (also known as Andalusian Hemipode), as well as Maghreb Owl (previously split from Tawny Owl), Marsh Owl and Atlas Flycatcher. We should also see a some other pretty cool species such as Double-spurred Francolin, Barbary Partridge, Marbled & White-headed Ducks, Black-winged Kite, Eleonora's Falcon, Maghreb Lark (split from Crested Lark), Pallid Swift, African Blue Tit, Maghreb Magpie, African Chaffinch and more. And as it's prime spring migration time who knows what else we can find?

So let's go birding Western Palearctic style!
