Would someone kindly provide Scott Young and I directions to where the Scrub Warblers are often found in Masafi? Coordinates would be especially appreciated.
Thanks,
Greg

X marks the spot.
Coordinates at bottom.
Drive past the square fenced garbage-dump on the right-hand side as you drive in. Park just past the dump.
Walk in the valley appx 200m, then check the hilly area on your left side (as you walk in). Can be anywhere in the wadi though, but this area has been good for me for the last 9 years.
They love hillsides with scattered small scrub.
Best looked for just after sunrise.

greg/Scott -- give me a call if you get there and cant find the location - a little tricky but Tommy's directions are "spot on" - dave - keep a look out for little owls also

Thanks Tommy! Couldn't make it there early, but we were eventually able to hear and then see a pair of them.
Khalifa - we arrived around 10 am I believe, and walked around for about an hour maybe. At one point I overheard Greg asking a goat where the birds were. I do not know what the goat told Greg, but it was not long after that that we found them. They were about 1km from the road on the left side.
