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:

    White-crowned Wheatear - Al Jaroof Village, Wadi Sidr, Fujairah - Saturday 9 November 2019

    After seeing so many Hume's, this bird was spotted this morning by my daughter Sarah. I had her on the lookout for a Hooded Wheatear as we drove through the wadi! It was hopping on and off the wall at the side of the road through the village. By now others have also seen it, so hopefully there should be a few more photos soon. Regards, Steve

    Qarn Nazwa ID help

    I got a couple shots of this little guy below but I'm having a hard time identifying. Seems like a warbler of some kind. Seen flitting in the branches of acacia bushes picking small insects from the leaves. Photos don't quite show what seemed to be a fairly distinct bar across the eye. Thanks in advance for helping!
