Birding with friends in Dubai during weekend . Some good results produced inside deep deserts of Al Qudra.
1.Pharaoh Eagle-Owl-2
2.Little Owl - pale desert form-1
3.Greater Spotted eagle-4
4.Eurasian Curlew-6
5.Greater hoopoe lark-6
6.Spotted Redshank-5
AND many commoners.
Awesome results Vipin. The Redshank looks a bit on the Common side ;-)
We get a lot of Spotted Redshanks submitted in eBird that are all this ussuriensis - subspecies of Common Redshank. European birders are not used to this kind pf plumage on Common Redshank, so it's quite understandable. That why I have set the Spotted Redshank filter limit in the UAE to 0 zero - to try to catch these birds.
