The sun sets in Tighassaline. [02:40]
Every evening, as the sun sets, the egrets fly in from the fields in the valley, and land on a massive old tree in the center of town. They encompass the tree. Some land, take-off, and search for a better perch. Until night falls, the tree is alive with the birds. This ritual takes place as the call to prayer floats out from the two nearby minarets.

My 2 weeks tour of Morocco - Part 1. Marrakech to Meknes [04:31]
Just had a wonderful two weeks touring Morocco with OnTheGo Tours. The organisation was well thought out, our two guides knowledgable and great fun and we did the lot - the big cities, the three mountain ranges and even into the Sahara. I'd never been on a group tour before and had my worries about that format but we had a good group of people from all over and had a good laugh (and a betrothal).

Storks and Egrets in the Chellah ruins outside Rabat, Morocco [00:32]
Visiting "Chellah," an old Moroccan fortification that also contains roman ruins, I was surprised by the stunning number of egrets and storks that apparently use this site and the surrounding area as nesting ground during migration. There must have been easily several thousand birds all over the place. The video shows part of a hill covered with egrets and storks (the latter are larger and have black wingtips). You can hear the noises made by these birds, including odd clicking sounds made by the storks.
