This is a very rare warbler and we were very lucky to see it. Not easily spotted. And not many individuals. Hard to find information about it but I found a video. About Cricket Warbler on wiki and Morrocan Birds

The windy conditions do not seem to bother him in the lease. So happy one flew so close by so you could photograph it. Good Job!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure they ARE rare...why, I've never even HEARD of them.
ReplyDeleteHI How lovely to see a rare bird. It had a lovely few eye stripes and it looked as if it could have a small crest. Great job getting this video.
