Oena capensis

The first observation involved two collected birds in April 1952 at Tamanrasset. This species was reported exclusively between 1950 and 1980 in a limited number of Algerian villages, specifically Tinzawatine, Timiaouine, and Bordj Moktar, all situated in the Adrar des Iforas region, an area bordering Algeria and Mali. A notable observation occurred in October 2022 and was followed by another in November 2022, during which multiple individuals including adults and juveniles of this species were sighted along the route from Timiaouine to Tawandert.
