Siempre está presente la oportunidad para poder mejorar algún registro fotográfico y enesta ocasión le tocó el turno a un Chupadientes que se acercó bastante a mi cámara durante la mañana del 10 de Junio del año pasado. Estábamos con los amigos en el Parque Provincial Araucaria, en San Pedro en la búsqueda de un […]
Global Big Day
Yesterday I teamed up with Jonathan and Re’a to take part in Global Big Day. Our plan was to record as many species as possible, and also to connect with some specialties that are less likely to get recorded elsewhere. We did not plan our route too carefully, as this was not a competition but […]
Lesser Kestrels – Jebal Hamrah
Whilst driving to Judah and Jebal Hamrah we came across two Lesser Kestrels perched on fence wires in the very early morning. This was the first time I have seen the species in Jebal Hamrah. Lesser Kestrel is an uncommon passage migrant to the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia that migrates in small flocks. They […]
Wryneck
The winds changed to the south today and whilst that did not bring any immediate changes to the birdlife in Maridalen it might mean that the rain that is forecast to start at 3am tonight might well bring down a lot of migrating birds (ever the optimist). Three flocks of Pink-footed Geese heading north today […]

Happy Mother’s Day
A mother is a heart that beats, A soul that lasts, a life that cares. A silent comfort only she can give. A mother is not defined by blood, But by the nurturing blanket that is she.
Camouflaged Desert Larks – Jebal Hamrah
Whilst walking around the Judah area we located tens of Desert Larks often in pairs and almost all were of the pale subspeciesaziziwhich is the palest form of all the subspecies and matches almost perfectly with the limestone rocks and scree of the escarpment. As can be seen from one of the photos below they […]
Purple Heron at Burnham
We attempted to find the Baikal Teal at Ouse Washes today but failed despite checking every hide and walking around six miles in the process. We did find a few Garganey and a Black winged Stilt along with Barn Owl, Marsh Harrier, Ruff and a dozen Greenshank. Hopefully the Teal will give us another opportunity. […]
