The Algerian Nuthatch is the only endemic bird species in Algeria, where it only inhabits certain coniferous forests in the north of the country. Its scientific name pays homage to Jean-Paul Ledant, the Belgian amateur naturalist who discovered the bird in October 1975.

Arwan downshifts in Algeria as we head back towards Libya.
This dune marks the southern edge of the large dune field on the Algerian side of the border. We crossed the border leaving Libya and entered Algeria and rounded the southern tip of this dune field and then drove eastwards across the Takharkhouri (Sebkha) heading back towards the Libyan border and on towards the Takharkhouri Pass - the southern gateway into the Tadrart Acacus.
Tips on Sand Dune Driving:
Drive onto the dunes at right angles to the crest. Build up enough momentum to get you just to the top of the dune, at which point you need to halt the vehicle, with the nose pointing over the other side of the crest, in effect this will dig away the crest, dropping the nose. The descent is slow in low range second gear, and don't touch the brake or accelerator pedals. Let the gears do the work as the brakes could lock and cause you to roll. Your descent must be dead straight , again to avoid rolling.
Watch out for changes in the colour of the sand ahead - this almost always signals a change in the consistency of the gravel.
The hotter it is, the tougher the going, because as the sand heats up, moisture evaporates and the air molecules in the sand grains expand, making the surface looser and stickier.
