Weekend
09:33:50 am, Categories: Submit Observation No real change in the species around however still plenty to see, on the shore I spent some time going around Sitra Island and the bays around Bapco Refinery and tank farm. One of the most impressive sights I came across were the tens of thousands of Slender-billed Gulls roosting south of the main Refinery.
The flocks did also contain many other gull species and a fair mix of terns.
Large numbers of migrant Caspian Tern were found, our local resident pairs are busy breeding at the moment.
Caspian Tern Sterna caspia
Great Cormorants Phalacrocorax carbo
A surprising number of Tawny Pipits Anthus campestris were also found close to the shore
