Between 25 September - 5 October and 21 - 31 December 2019, groups of the African Silverbill Euodice cantans were recorded and photographed in a series of localities South-East, South, North- West and East of Tamanrasset (Saharan Algeria). Presence of fledglings fed by adults as well as birds carrying nest material proved that the species is now well established as a breeding and sedentary species in this area and can no longer be considered as a very irregular migrant and accidental winter visitor in southern Algeria.
