26/04/2021 along Sulaibikhat Bay
This afternoon I started at Sulaibikhat Bay, from KISR side then continued along the coast stopping at the Sulaibikhat Traditional Cafe, Sulaibikhat Sports Club, Al Jahra Reserve and ending my visit at Jahra East Outfall.
There was nothing special, but three species were new to my 2021 year list, Common Tern, Eurasian Spoonbill and White-winged Tern.
