My best ever experience with this species today. SEVENTEEN birds seen together at the summit of Jebel Hafeet!!
The MOURNING WHEATEAR was also still present in the same spot, in fact I re-located it on the same boulder as yesterday...
Then it was gone...
It was a spectacular day with most things fitting into place. I had great views of Eastern Black Redstart...
...and Hume's Wheatear (Lifer)...
Both birds flew in and perched on the fence right next to me. My lucky day! I couldn't get close to a Striolated Bunting but I did see quite a few distantly. Fence again!
So, there you go. A brief taste of the Jebel Hafeet Mountain. Thoroughly recommended.
A debatable 74 species seen.
Trying for Pallid Scops Owl today at Al Jimi Oasis in Al Ain...if we can find the site!
