Egyptian Nightjar at Saharan Desert

The Saharan Desert's edge in southeastern Morocco, where the Atlas Mountains give way to stony hamada plains, wind-sculpted dunes, & scattered acacia scrub, is a fitting backdrop for tracking down the Egyptian Nightjar. This master of desert camouflage relies on the pale, sun-baked ground to disappear almost entirely from view, making patience & a keen eye essential when searching this transitional terrain. May offers the best window for an encounter, & those joining the Fennec Foxes & other Moroccan Wildlife holiday will find this arid landscape a rewarding stage for photographing the species in its element.
