Bar-tailed Lark at Atlas Mountains

The Atlas Mountains, stretching from Morocco's Atlantic coast toward the Algerian border, form the natural divide between the Mediterranean north and the pre-Saharan landscapes beyond, and it's within this arid transition zone that the Bar-tailed Lark can be found. Photographers joining the Fennec Foxes & other Moroccan Wildlife holiday in May have the chance to encounter this species against the backdrop of the rugged mountain terrain. The open, stony ground typical of these borderland habitats offers a fitting stage for capturing the lark in its element. Patience and an eye for subtle movement across the terrain will serve photographers well when searching for this species here.
