The Massa lagoon, situated an hours drive south of Agadir, is normally counted as Morocco's best bird reserve. In the lagoon, which is to large extent a river that ends in wide lake before it is sealed off from the sea by sand banks, you will find numerous rare birds. Birds here count desert visitors, together with flamingoes, avocets and ducks. In the mornings you will be able to spot black and spotted sandgouse. In between the vegetation there will be godwit, turnstone, dunlin, snipe, black-headed bush shrike and litle crake. Out in the open sea the flamingoes rest, togheter with spoonbill, white stork, black-winged stilt, marsh harrier and osprey.
