Awesome Huw!!!!
Best one in the gallery (http://www.smugmug.com/gallery/7205638_U9vtK)!
Thanks for uploading the high-res version :-)

[Sandman]

Any thrushes or Eversmann's still present?

[Huw]

Hi Tommy

About 5 Ring Ouzels, 1 Black-throated Thrush, but again sorry I didn't check out the other side for the Eversmann's as I was on a mission:D.

Cheers

Huw

[Sandman]

Thanks. Mission accomplished I'd say!

Fabulous Huw !! Same place as you mentioned earlier ?
Will visit tomorrow :-)

[Huw]

Hi Mike.

It moves around, but comes to the twigs, and also the dead wood to the left of the road about half way down. Be patient.

Cheers

great shot Huw - there seems to be an influx of them in Al Ain in the last week -- Here is the one (male?) from Ain Al Fayda on the 31st - great eyes - dave

Nice pic, Dave - and a nice bit of "pruning", too ;-)

[Mike Barth]

Fabulous pic Dave ! I sat for 2.5 hours by a pile of sticks at the Mercure at the weekend, when the Orphean finally showed right at the end of the day it was in the tied twigs right in front of the car - I think people all around Al Ain must have heard expletives coming down from the mountain :-)

Thanks Mike and yes Mark sometimes a little creative pruning just seems to be necessary -- enjoy the weather and the ashes - dave
