More August passage at the waste water site

Last Sunday I returned to the waste water site, just north of the city. 34 species were seen but that was actually slightly down on the bumper week before. It was down slightly both in terms of species and overall numbers of warblers. Sunday August 19th had been special.

Highlights were:


  • Four very early European roller which reminded unphotographed
  • Green sandpiper which is surprisingly uncommon in the Nouakchott area especially compared with common sandpiper and wood sandpiper
  • Plenty of western Bonelli's warbler. It is very much an August bird in Nouakchott though it winters not much further south.
  • Four great white pelican flying over head, thinking about landing and then wisely not doing so. I have seen this played out several times now.
  • A full list of species is at the bottom of the blog.
