Marrakech - Urban Wldlife

I was a couple of weeks ago in Morocco in Marrakech. It was a kind of city break - mostly sightseeing, visiting the city and the surroundings, tasting the local culture, food and ... beer :D.
Wildlife photography was definitely not on my list - that's why I took only my 70-200 lens with me.
I had some surprises:
- several nesting storks in Bahia Palace
- songbirds on the hotel roof, where we had our breakfast. The little fellow must have been its nest somewhere in the hotel, because every morning at 6 began his very loud repertoire.















... and something very unusual, not wildlife, but pretty wild - how can travel the hole family on a scooter.

    That last shot is unbelievable!
    Doesn't look too safe to me; I think I'd rather walk lol

  3. Hi Andor,
    Congrats on these shots, they are really nice... I love the house bunting (first singers), I hope I'll see it when I'll go to Agadir in June. I've a one month meeting there and took some extra days for birding ;-)
