Birds of Morocco Tours
Morocco is home to a diverse range of bird species, including migratory birds, endemic species, and rare sightings. Some of the highlights include the Northern Bald Ibis, Moussier’s Redstart, Desert Sparrow, and various raptors like the Bonelli’s Eagle and Lanner Falcon. The specific species you’ll see depend on the season and the regions you visit.

Spring (March to May): Ideal for seeing migratory birds returning to Europe.
Autumn (September to November): Perfect for spotting birds migrating to Africa.
