Souss Massa national park

This morning sis and I left at 7:30 am to drive to souss massa park along the valley of. The river (Oued ) Masse. This is a lush well watered  valley where Lucerne is grown for  cattle. People cut the lucerne and carry it to the cattle housed at the back of their houses.



We hired a Guide who Climbed in and directed us to the seaward entrance of the park. We saw osprey, pink flamingos, dunlin, common sandpiper, moussiers redstart, Moroccan cormorant, Mauritania magpie, little owl, southern grey shirke, Kentish plover.
Then Rachid took us to the top of the hill for a panoramic view of the valley from the Atlantic to the anti Atlas Mountains. 

 Looking out to the Atlantic.  That's euphorbia in the foreground.
