UAE 19 - Day 5

Tuesday 12th

D63! That's the name of the road out of the City towards the area known as Al Qudra. It's a 40 minute drive from Robert's place.

There's a series of lakes, creating an Oasis which is a magnet to birds. There are some introduced Wildfowl to confuse matters somewhat but there's also plenty of wild birds to look for.

Targets

NAMAQUA DOVE
LAPPET-FACED VULTURE
ARABIAN BABBLER
CLAMOUROUS REED WARBLER
