Comments from our March 2009 holiday Hi Jules. Had a great time on the tour with a great group of people, and thanks for your expert guidance. Vehicle was great once we found out how to open the door from inside and open the windows! . Accomodation was fine . I thought the first place was an experience but was let down more by the expensive drinks than the rooms. Take care and will see you again soon. .......... N. Muddiman It was great to see you again and be treated to the usual high quality birding guidance and finding coupled with the TLC that makes your trips so special. Roll on Bulgaria - let's hope the new Collins Guide is out by then!! C. Byrne Thank you for arranging and leading our adventure in Morocco so professionally. We are, indeed, very privileged to have had the opportunity to combine seeing such contrasting scenery and habitats with birding of such exceptional quality. It was a revelation to Wendy and I to see such rich contrasts - snow in the High Atlas Mountains, improbable vast seasonal lakes set in arid Sahara desert, with the huge red sand dunes of Erg Chebbi, high mountain passes and that fortified isolated hill set in a vast desert plain that was home to 2 surprised Pharoah Eagle Owls. But perhaps the most surprising feature of the trip was the wonderful flowers of all hues in the desert, and their, at times overpowering scent. The quality of views of many of the birds was exceptional too. A great list, with a huge 31 lifers for us. Mohamed Zahi was a gem of a local birding guide as he took us to places off everyone else's radar. He was also a great travelling companion and a huge plus to the group. Not least because he was so skilled in mimicing the authentic Yorkshire tongue. Our fellow travellers were a great bunch and we very much enjoyed their company, and they added lots to the quality of the adventure. And finally, you Jules, you were not just a top drawer birder, your enthusiasm for the birds and the country was inspirational. Well done! We must go there again - with Oliva Rama Tours of course!
