I guess Ouarzazate has changed a lot since you were there - it had changed a fair bit since my last visit in 2002.<br /><br />I'm sorry to say that there are still a lot of cobras on show in the main square - also monkeys - I rather like snakes and monkeys, but I avoided them in Marrakech as I'm not going to encourage the cruelty that they are subjected to.Richard Peglerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05115206853645323899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2300766267906463889.post-38744542748149595812012-11-06T19:31:32.912+00:002012-11-06T19:31:32.912+00:00This is a very nice blog.

We are also blessed with a good population of House Sparrows visitng our garden - sometimes 20 or more at a time.Richard Peglerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05115206853645323899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2300766267906463889.post-49747738842872026462012-11-04T13:19:49.511+00:002012-11-04T13:19:49.511+00:00Glad you had a great holiday. There is something ...Glad you had a great holiday. There is something comforting about having birds that are common and are happy to associate themselves with us like the House Sparrows and the Robin, they become like old friends. I like the Bulbul and the House Bunting. The House Sparrows remind me of my Grandparents, there was always House Sparrows around. My Grandparents lived in a Council house where the Sparrows nested under the eaves, they lived in this house for over 50 years. We have a flock of Sparrows here where I live and have been with us since we moved here 15 years ago. Your pictures are great considering your camera was not 100%:-)Linda Yarrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03804368844243909168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2300766267906463889.post-39217246305628577242012-11-03T15:33:12.583+00:002012-11-03T15:33:12.583+00:00No Douglas.
