    Masked shrike at Safa Park

    in UAE bird sightings

    Decent afternoon in Safa Park today with best bird Masked Shrike beside amphitheatre. Had brief views of a wing barred phylosc by Mausoleum but couldn’t relocated it. Nice to see some muddy edges to lake which held black winged stilt, temminck’s stint and a couple of green sandpipers.
