Beschrijving
Parc Lalla Hasna is a large city park near the city centre of Marrakech. It is located right next to the large Koutoubia mosque and the large El Fna square. It's a great place to observe many species of songbird in this very green part of the city. The park is divided by several pathways all leading to the fountain in the center of the park. The rest of the park contains many trees, bushes and flowerbeds.
The (palm)trees are used by common species of songbird, like Grauwe Buulbuul, Zwarte Spreeuw and Huisgors. Other scarcer species, like Klapekster and Westelijke Vale Spotvogel, can be found in especially the more quiet areas near the edges of the park. If you're lucky, the very beautiful Diadeemroodstaart might show itself!
Flocks of swifts, being mainly Vale Gierzwaluw and Huisgierzwaluw, tend to hang around the mosque tower and also over the park. Sometimes a Gierzwaluw or Alpengierzwaluw can be found within these flocks.
Also predatory birds can be observed above the park, like Dwergarend and Zwarte Wouw. Torenvalk can be found perching on (mostly) palm trees.
