Thanks Dan. Appreciate your input.

Thanks Peter. Keep safe.

Thanks Mark, I concur. take care and stay safe.

Thanks Tommy. The Northern Wheatear was a total surprise and I was absolutely stoked when it jumped up in front of me. Unfortunately it didn't hang around long enough for me to adjust my settings and grab some stills. Never mind though, it was still memorable.

Cheers Mark thanks

Cheers Mark thanks

This the best of the rest. Don't have anything to show a decent close-up of the secondaries.

Seen again on 3rd Feb. along Saih Al Salam Street after Bad Al Shams

Yes but I was gutted when it didn’t make another appearance. Nevertheless I was very pleased to have seen it in my own back yard.😊

Very nice Ross and well spotted. "Knot" many people would have had such keen powers of observation!.

Hi Tommy, yes I've been off the grid for quite a while due to changing circumstances. I haven't posted one eBird for quite some time but i'll make the effort and get this picture up for all to see. Cheers

Sorry but going to have to pull out. I will most likely be traveling.

Reza, I've been watching the pond for a while. In fact I think I saw you there with your monster glass out the car window. Did you get a count on the number of Clamorous Reed Warblers? I've seen a good number of them recently.

Forgot to mention the Bees are "Apis flora" (Arabian or Asian dwarf honeybee).

Nice capture nonetheless!

I got another chance at the same Dragonfly this morning and yes, it is small so I’m going with Black Pennant after doing some more digging. Thanks Mark.

Hi Mark. Definitely smaller than a Hawker or Skimmer but not "really" small.
