This couple of House Sparrow also seem to thrive in the Moroccan desert. A very adaptive species.

I can´t find any notions of any difference between males and females so I have no idéa of what this is. I thought it was male but I´m not sure.

Being a bird photographer in Morocco was not easy. First, as very often, the birds are far off. In this case also almost impossible to see. Our tour guide spotted it and told us where to look. I did see vague movements and directed my camera to the bushes. Hoping for the best. I took the shot with my 500mm lens. When I went through the shots to pick a bird for Bird D´Pot I had to look several times before I found the bird in the shot. But it was there. Sad, to say, is that I don´t know the species. Has to be in the list of birds though. So I have to see if I can find it.

This lark was quite common in Morocco. At least where we visited the country. It is quite amazing how they can find food and water. Even if they are few. The coloring of the bird really suits it´s environment. According to my book they breed in the country as well.
