Dubai Creek Park is a large park with lots of open grass. Being a manicured park, it seems to be less attractive to migrants than Al Mamzar & Safa parks.
 

 

Birding strategy:

To cover the area thouroughly, plan to spend 2+ hours.

Enter by one of the many entrances from Riyadh Road. Work the whole northern area, checking the grass and trees, as well as the beach and water.

 

Birds:

145+ species (excluding escapes) have been recorded.
Resident species include Shikra and Alexandrine Parakeets.

Migrants include Ortolan Bunting (common in April) and Cinereous Bunting (rare in April).
Masked Shrike and Dark-throated Thrush are near-annual winter visitors.
 

Rarities have included White-breasted Waterhen, Common Gull, Common Wood Pigeon and Eversmann's Redstart.
