13/01/2010 Hume’s Wheatear is still in SAANR

by · Published · Updated

Back in Kuwait and immediately I had to check whether our gem is still present and it is. Personally the bird of the day was Common Crane. I saw 5 of them in SAANR (5th record for Kuwait if accepted by KORC)  and on my way I had Great Bittern at Manchester Club. Not so bad start for this decade.
