I remember in Oukaimeden, a sky station over 2000 meters high (about 6500ft) in the Atlas mountains in Morrocco, the crows were so big that they fought with dogs for food.
Taller enough to reach my knee 😳

After Tuesday's Shore Lark at Sandwich Bay, I'll admit to having a bit of a thing for Horned Larks - fnarr fnarr - Eremophila taxa I hasten to add 😬. Here are some I met on my travels during 2015-2018.

Oukaimeden, located only about 90 minutes from Marrakech, is proof of Morocco's incredible climate diversity. From palm trees to powder snow in the same day! The contrasts here are astounding. 🤯 #ClimateDiversity #HighAtlasMountains #TravelContrast (299 chars)

Mütze erlaube ich.
Die Handschuhe musst du aber gut verstecken wenn ich dich einmal besuche.
Ausser du gehst mal auf einen Ausflug nach Oukaïmeden…😉🥶

From the hustle of Marrakech to the snowy slopes of Oukaïmeden in the High Atlas—Morocco offers an incredible geographical contrast few countries can match. This region is also perfect for summer trekking. What's the most unexpected landscape you've encountered on a trip? #AdventureTravel #HighAtlas

High Atlas – Day 1
Transfer to Oukaimeden and trek through dramatic scenery to Foussarou. The first day of any adventure always carries that mix of nerves and excitement. As we loaded our bags into the minibus in Marrakech, you could feel the energy between us – a shared sense of anticipation for what lay ahead. None of us knew exactly what the High Atlas would throw our way, but that uncertainty was part of the magic. Leaving behind the vibrant colours, sounds and bustle of Marrakech, the road soon began to climb. The further we drove, the more the city faded into memory and the mountains began to rise in front of us.

Our last full day and we headed up to Oukaimeden to escape the heat on High Atlas Butterflies with @naturetrek.bsky.social many on the wing with Atlas Blue & African Grayling making an appearance. The orchid display was as great as last week & plenty of Atlas Goldenrings

The first full day on Butterflies of the High Atlas with @naturetrek.bsky.social took us to the alpine zone at Oukaimeden. Endemic Vaucher's Heath & Dark Giant Grayling were targets. A profusion of Orchids & other flowers greeted us. Birds inc Crimson-winged Finch & Atlas Wheatear. A great start!

1st Day in Morocco with @naturetrek.bsky.social and there was plenty of snow at Oukaimeden. The alpine specials were found including the Finches showing why they are called Crimson-winged.

Great start to the @naturetrek.bsky.social Birding in Southern Morocco tour a couple of days ago with fantastic views of Crimson-winged Finch and 'atlas' Horned Lark at Oukaïmeden. #birds #tourleading #naturetrek

Another blast from the past. Oukaimeden, Morocco from 2008. Taken back when I was digiscoping, the Rock Thrush image still holds up. As many will know, its a fantastic location with Crimson-winged Finch, Seebohm`s Wheatear, Alpine Accentor, Horned Lark, Alpine Chough & Rock Sparrow etc all present

This stunning image✨, captured at the Oukaïmeden Observatory in Morocco, showcases two supernova remnants:
🔹 SNR G179 (upper left) – A 50,000-year-old remnant, 11,000 light-years away.
🔹 Spaghetti Nebula (lower right) – A 40,000-year-old remnant, 3,000 light-years away.
