Bahrain Obs

The bad weather continued all week with visibility at times less than a few hundred yards the only bird of merit was a single Black Kite over Manama - but yesterday we did have an influx at Badaan of Isabelline Wheatears, Yellow Wagtails,and Spannish Sparrows the status of which remains a mystery - migrant or resident breeder? but we netted 4 (see Projects)Hoopoe and a Chiffchaff were also seen. Song Thrush, Bluethroat, Pacific Golden Plover numerous pipits and Skylarks remain on the fields. No photos waiting on the return of my lense - for sand removal.
