Not an unusual sighting but I do believe it's my first "Common" Redstart(Phoenicurus phoenicurus) for Nad Al Sheba2. A very shy individual. I did infect believe I saw this bird 2 days 3 days ago but I could not be certain. Anyhow, now I am.

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

Lovely bird. Must get over to Nad Al Sheba more often. Played my first game of golf there (now Meydan) in 20 years, two months ago - saw a Black Swan at ??? hole; also saw a few other new ones but had a terrible game of golf. Congrats on yr new bird. Spent my very early morning at RAKLH this morning without anything of interest.
