Summer has arrived with a vengence
06:33:46, Categories: Observation by Howard I start with a picture unrelated to birds but it is of one of my favourite Bahrain residents the Spiny Tailed Lizard (Dabb Lizard) - they are vegetarian and harmless - this chaps expression sums up for me the change in the weather - it ain't half Hot Mum
Now the Birds -
Lesser Grey Shrike never many but they are stunners
Red-backed Shrike numbers increase
Isabelline Shrike still quite a few about
Purple Swamphen two put in an appearance at Alba/Askar Marsh
Spotted Crake
Little Stint
Little Bittern
Little Grebe a good breeding year thus far
Kentish Plover Chick - they are everywhere
Black-Winged Stilt Chick
Moorhen Chick
Clamorous Warbler have successfully colonised our restricted wetlands
Bee-eater a really disappointing year for obs
Little Tern
Black-crowned Night Heron
Palm Doves
Ringed Plover
Rock Thrush
Spotted Flycatcher
Socotra Cormorant
Slender-billed Gull
Black-headed Gull
Warbler NOT POSITIVELY identified too big too colourful for Willow but only other possibility is a Wood Warbler
