Bar-tailed Lark at Saharan Desert

The Saharan Desert's fringes in southeastern Morocco, where the Atlas Mountains give way to stony hamada plains, wind-sculpted dunes, & scattered acacia scrub, offer a fitting stage for photographing the Bar-tailed Lark against this stark, sun-bleached landscape. This transitional edge of the world's largest hot desert rewards patience, with the pale plumage of the lark blending seamlessly into the sand & gravel underfoot. Photographers joining the Fennec Foxes & other Moroccan Wildlife holiday, typically run in May, will find this terrain well suited to capturing the species in its element, using the open plains & dune fields to frame images that convey the sheer scale of the desert setting.
