UAE - Half-time!

The sightseeing maelstrom is still in full flow! No problem. We're VERY grateful for the local knowledge of my son and Laura in this fast developing City.

I (finally) managed to access the viewpoint at Khor Al Beida and had excellent scope views of a dozen CRAB PLOVERS. Very impressive birds. I tried hard to find one that was close enough for a decent pic but it wasn't to be.

We move on to Al Ain tomorrow, which is the SE Emirate in the Mountains of Jebel Hafit. Today we visit the Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi. A visit to the Palace Gardens will also be in order to try for my life Oriental Honey Buzzard.

Time will tell...
