Audouin’s Gull, Dakhla, 07.04.2010<br />
We stayed at Hotel Cyber, which is situated in a smaller road on the right of the main road<br />
through Dakhla. We paid 200 MD for a double room for 2 nights and had a very slow internet<br />
connection.<br />
It may be helpful to note that the northernmost roundabout of Dakhla seems to be a very<br />
popular place for the local police to hunt tourists with their speed traps. I was a victim of this<br />
game and had to pay 400 MD. Every time we drove in or out of town we saw the police<br />
standing there.<br />
08.04. Aswerd Road, Dakhla Bay<br />
To reach the famous km 41 on Aswerd road in first light, we left Dakhla at 4:15 a.m. On our<br />
way we watched a group of 4 <strong>Go</strong>l<strong>de</strong>n Jackals and some small uni<strong>de</strong>ntified hares. We<br />
witnessed a gorgeous sunrise at km 41 and soon found our target birds.<br />
Km 41 at Aswerd Road, 08.04.2010<br />
Desert Sparrows were fairly abundant in the few trees while the distinctive call of Cricket<br />
Warbler was a great help to locate the birds in the spiky grass clumps. After a brief search<br />
we found a small flock of Black-crowned Finch-Larks feeding on the sandy ground<br />
between the grass clumps. After a couple of hours we visited km 43, where we found<br />
African Dunn’s Lark close to a pair each of Desert and Bar-tailed Larks. Here we also had a<br />
Lanner Falcon and a Long-legged Buzzard of race cirtensis.<br />
