Birds of Bahrain

Only could manage Friday this weekend - spent a lot of time checking out potential sites for returning migrants - only a month to wait and something will be back despite the heat

I didn't take many photos mainly cause I didn't find many birds at the Chicken farm the Black-winged stilts are progressing nicely although we know dogs have taken a few chicks many are now fledging and trying out their wings.

Black-winged Stilt

Moorhen - have had a good year but most wetland sites are under threat

White-cheeked Terns - the bird on the right is a first winter bird unusual to see at this time of the year.
