Northern Bald Ibis – A Highlight of Birding in Morocco

The Northern Bald Ibis is one of the most remarkable birds you can see in Morocco and one of the main targets of this tour.

The coastal region around Tamri is an important habitat for this endangered species.

Finding the birds depends on their movements, weather conditions and the season, so sightings cannot be guaranteed. However, your local guide knows the area and will use recent information and local knowledge to choose the most suitable observation areas.

We always observe the birds responsibly and maintain an appropriate distance from sensitive areas.

Best Time for Birding in Agadir Morocco

Birding around Agadir is possible throughout the year, with different species and conditions depending on the season.

Spring can be excellent for migration, with many species passing through the region.

Autumn can also bring a variety of migrating birds to the wetlands and coastal habitats.

Winter is a productive period for many waterbirds and other species using the Souss and coastal areas.

Summer can be quieter during the hottest part of the day, so we generally recommend starting early when temperatures are more comfortable and bird activity is higher.

If you are looking for a particular species, let us know before the tour and we can plan the route around your interests where possible.

Birding Responsibly

Our priority is to enjoy wild birds without disturbing them.

We keep an appropriate distance, avoid disturbing feeding and resting birds and respect sensitive habitats and nesting areas.

For Northern Bald Ibis in particular, responsible observation is essential.

The aim is not simply to get as close as possible, but to observe birds behaving naturally in their own environment.
