I'm not entirely sure what the exact route was that we took and i don't think the pilot did either judging from his commentary. Photos above show the Atlas mountains in Morocco, an amazing ridge between Morocco and Algeria which is visible on Google Earth and desert in Western Sahara/Mauritania. You can imagine many migrating raptors following this ridge south-west towards the coast after crossing the High Atlas.
This juvenile flew low overhead, soaking wet after failing to catch a fish and plonked down on the edge of the tern and gull colony. All the birds carried on as usual, not at all bothered by the bedraggled Osprey.
