10/09/2009 at Jahra Pool Reserve

This morning I visited with Gary Brown JPR. Since the reserve has been managed well and shooters have been kept outside. In a case that they have sneaked in early morning like a week ago the police arrested men quickly. Guns of these shooters were confiscated. Seems that Kuwait has taken a brave step to protect wildlife.

Birds seen this morning:  Egyptian Nightjar 1, Marsh Sandpiper 10, Blak-tailed Godwit 15, Marsh Sandpiper 10., Osprey 1, Little Crake 5, Moorhen 50, Common Snipe 1,

Egyptian Nightjar (Caprimulgus aegyptius)
