I went this morning to Jahra Pool Reserve and I met Khaled Al Ghanem. While chatting Khaled received a call from Rashed Al Hajji. He had found Hooded Wheatear at Jahra East Outfall. We quickly drove over there to see the bird. The place is hardly 500 meters away from the spot where Daniel Mauras photographed a juvenile bird on 10/12/2011. However, this time the bird is adult male.
