The chapters of the book are organized to reflect different birding routes, so we can actually discover the birds in the book in a similar way as we would when traveling along the Moroccan mountains, desert and coast. Along with the fantastic photography, the text provide a sense of ambience: it\u2019s informative and absorbing. This is a photography book that can actually be read and used as a relevant information source on some aspects of the biology of the birds, the Moroccan culture, and, also importantly, the fabulous gastronomy! Short fragments of Arabic poetry and local sayings enrich some of the descriptions.<\/p>\n
However, the strongest point of this book is, undoubtedly, its photography. Ignacio Y\u00fafera is considered by many to be one of the best nature photographers in Spain, and it won\u2019t be a surprise to anyone familiar with his work, that the technical quality here is excellent. Some of our favorite pictures depict the most humble and inconspicuous species, like the different larks or the charismatic Desert Sparrow. On the other hand, the Pharaoh Eagle Owl, the Eleonora\u2019s Falcon and the Bonelli\u2019s Eagle, stand out with the characteristic strength of these species, same as the brightly colored images of the Tristram\u2019s Warbler and the Moussier\u2019s Redstart, to name a few.<\/p>\n
