It was a trip made with two friends of the CORIF. We simply reserved our plane tickets and rented a car. However, we had a rather good idea of the sites we wanted to visit.

One of the most remarkable observations were Spotted Sandgrouse. We saw more than 400 birds at the sunset, in the South of the "Chott El Jerid". We saw 3 or 4 groups between 50 to more than 150 birds. This observations were particulary interesting as this species was not known to form important group!
The sight of more than 30 Ruddy Shelducks was also interesting because this species was little known as winter resident in Tunisia (unlike in Algeria where this species was frequent). It was the same for the sight of a male Pallid Harrier. This birds was perceived at the last moment by the one of us when we started the car ! Another good memories were the 3 Thick-billed Larks. This species was uncommon and we made some very good sights during a long moment...
