    Mushrif Palace Gardens

    in UAE bird sightings

    Hello all,

    I had a good outing to the MPGs this morning. I had seen on eBird that some European Rollers had been spotted (thanks to Paul J) so I was keen to connect with them.


    After parking up behind the helipad one of the first birds I saw was indeed a European Roller, so I was very happy with that. There were a couple more in the vicinity and a walk around the middle and back woods produced some other nice birds (for me anyway), including a stunning male Golden Oriole. Photos below:
