My Mauritania list (306)


I arrived in Mauritania in September 2016. I am birding in free time. Getting around the city and country is a bigger issue than in other countries I have worked in. Despite this the list developed well.

Since this list was downlad from the e-bird database one more species has been seen:

Common grasshopper warbler at North Nouakchott waste water site. This makes 306.
