by · Published · Updated

I received this morning two people from Germany, Reinhold Lannert and Sandra Gotsch and one person from Holland/Italy, Massiliamo Dettori. We headed first to Pivot Fields where highligt were Caspian Plovers and Pygmy Cormrant. In Jahra Farms we had Grey Hypocoliuses, Semi-collared Flycatchers and lutea Yellow Wagtail. Final place Jahra Pool reserve produced much sought Baillon’s Crake luckily showing up really well.
