Urocolius macrourus View in CoL

The Blue-naped Mousebird ( Urocolius macrourus ) was initially observed by Haddad and Bekkouche in 2018 in Tawandert. This marked the first recorded sighting of several individuals ( Haddad and Bekkouche, 2021; Boulaouad et al., 2021). A second observation occurred in October 2022, followed by a third sighting in November of the same year, all within the same region. These observations lead us to believe that this species resides in the southernmost part of Algeria.
