French team found Oriental Pratincole (Glareola maldivarum), first for Kuwait if accepted by KORC, in late afternoon on 27 April at JEO. Therefore we tried this morning to relocate the bird but unfortunately in vain. However, as a result of this effort I managed finally to photograph “White-headed Yellow Wagtail” race leucocephala. This race has been seen annually but only in very small numbers.
