Another pleasant day out and about. A Eurasian Stone-curlew or Thick-knees as it is also known, was seen and photographed at the farm the other day. Whilst I have seen this bird in Qatar I do not have an image of it. I tried to connect with it today, but without any luck. I did however, manage to get shots of two other birds previously seen. So all in all, not a bad result. This puts me on 164 ticked and 151 of them with images A beautiful male Barred Warbler. A passage migrant species A male Eurasian Blackcap. Another passage migrant Lilith Owl on the look-out A female Rufous-tailed Rock Thrush. A pair of these Red-wattled Lapwings have been present for a while now. Today this one allowed me within range This Rufous-tailed Scrub Robin was perched inside a thick bush, but would hop out every now and then to catch big black ants that were scurrying around on the ground Other birds included: Little Stint, White Wagtail, Yellow Wagtail, Crested Lark, Greater Short-toed lark, Red-vented Bulbul, Barn Swallow, Common Swift, Squacco Heron, Northern, Pied and Isabelline Wheatears, Common Sandpiper, Wood Sandpiper, Willow Warbler, Daurian and Turkestan Shrikes, a ringed Homing Pigeon and the rest
