This is probably a yuvenile or maybe a winter plumage.  The last image was actually the first. I was trapped behind a table when the Phalarope came and alarmed everyone.  And everyone started shooting. But did not care to move away for the rest of us at the table to see something. Luckily this bird came back at a later moment. When lunch was eaten and done with. Nice bird, but not nice birders. :(  This was just a lucky shot between two people.  But in the end I got some shots and was quite pleased anyway. It was a lifer to me. :)

This is juvenile birds. The first time I saw one of them I got a ghost like feeling about them.
Sorry these are in the wrong order but when I post it on FB I want the first one to show.

This subspecies of the magpie has a featherless, blue area behind it´s eye. Rather common in the northern part of Morocco.
