Abstract
Alpine Accentor, Prunella collaris (Scopoli, 1769), is one of Algeria’s rare birds. During the monitoring campaign, which was run between 2020 and 2023 using direct observation, a pair of Alpine Accentor was spotted in the Tessala mountains (North of Sidi Bel Abbes, western Algeria) on November 12, 2022. This newly documented locality is important because it likely expands the currently known range of this rare species in Algeria
