Abstract
We observe the Eastern Olivaceous Warblers (Iduna pallida reiseri) breeding for the first time in the Ghardaïa region. It is the first confirmation of its reproduction in the northern Algerian Sahara. This subspecies is specific to the arid environments of North Africa. Our work just confirmed the important role of the Saharan ecosystems for the generation of this bird. This study also indicates that it is a regular breeder in this area.
