As we can't get into Badaan farm at the moment, on Thursday, Howard took me to a spot in Bahrain, near to the old Potuguese fort. There were plenty of gulls around and as I'm hopeless at identifying them, I'll leave that to the experts.

Here's a small flock of little stint, the beach was full of them and I have some more images that I'll post tomorrow.

Today we went to the Riffa wadi and Brendan did some ringing, this is the wood sandpiper he caught, just being released.
