Fouad , loved the Streaked scrub warbler , congrats buddy.
Hi guys, I've always entered in a different place, here's the coordinates ( 25.361516, 56.163416 ), you'll see the track goes in to the wadi, you can drive in if you dare, then park up and go for a walk, i've only ever entered the wadi on the other side once (this is where the eBird hotspot is located) and can't remember the way in, I was with Mike Barth that day and we drove in pretty far. If taking the road to the right, there is a speed camera and on your right you'll see a kinda farm, the trees around this are usually rife with Spectacled Bulbul.
Hi Fouad, nice photo. I was thinking of going to Masafi Wadi, and I was wondering if you had any tips. I guess the best bet is to park at the mosque (bottom of photo below) and then walk up the big wadi. Where did you see the little scrubbies?
Congrats on the cutie
