Assif n’Tidili Bridges

Ouarzazate  >  Morocco

Two bridges over river Assif n’Tidili. In winter and especially spring the river and the surrounding agricultural plots are a great place for a birding stop.

Description

The Assif n’Tidili is a small river in southern Morocco that has only a lot of water in the winter and spring months. A main bridge and a lower bridge a bit further north cross the river 35 km west of Ouarzazate. Both birdges and the surrounding area are a nice spot for birding. The banks of the river are thickly overgrown with reeds and the surrounding vegetable gardens and agricultural plots are full of birds. From the main bridge you have a chance to see Rousserolle effarvatte and in the trees resting Aigrette garzette and Bihoreau gris (sometimes groups of ten or more birds). Walking along the river and between the agricultural lands you can see birds like Bruant proyer, Pie-grièche à tête rousse, Moineau espagnol, White Wagtail (Moroccan) and Huppe fasciée. In spring the area is also good for migrating birds like Busard des roseaux, Blongios nain and Rougequeue à front blanc.

Accès

The bridges are located 35 km west of Ouarzazate on the road to Taliouine. Click on the P in the map to get directions or coordinates. On the map you see a circular walk of about 2 km that passes the main bridge and a little bridge a bit further north. This low bridge has not as good views as the main bridge on the main road, but the road is much more quiet.
