Nice one! Maybe the one Gary reported? Can you add it in eBird?

Det stemmer godt

Sounds like colour dyed Silverbills and Munias. That happens around festivities in the UAE

They winter in the UAE 👍

Crested Lark

This is the rare Mistle Thrush

Great Grey Shrike (Arabian)

Great Grey (Arabian)

Then it’s not Spotted Flycatcher, as they are in Africa in January

Hi Greg. Nice to see you are still active. I'll forward an educated guess: 1. Spotted Flycatcher. Which date was this? 2. correct 3. Temminck's Stint & Kentish Plover 4. correct 5. Ruff 6. female Pied Wheatear? 7. Greater Short-toed Lark 8.-9.-10. correct 11 Grey Plover 12. onwards: Desert Wheatears

A stunning Lesser Grey Shrike :-) Note the forehead. And also note: Southern Grey Shrike does not occur in Arabia after the taxionomic update in 2019: see the downloadable checklist for details

On my mobile, so can not scrutinise the image. If grey neck = Red-backed female If brown neck = Turkestan

Common Redstart - female

White tail-sides indicates Eastern Olivaceous

Depending on how it moved it’s tail, (see fieldguides for details), it’s Upcher’s or Eastern Olivaceous

Both are, yes. Note the red throat ;-)
