recently been bird-watching his local ‘patch’ of a water treatment area,
starting about a year ago. He has seen a number of good birds in the area
including:
Black Kite (juvenile)Common Kestrel
Steppe (Southern) Grey Shrike
Isabelline Wheatear
Western Marsh Harrier
European Roller
Glossy Ibis
Common Kingfisher
Long-legged Buzzard
Common Snipe
Ruff
Wood Sandpiper
Squacco Herons
Common Redstart
Pallid Harrier
Spur-winged Plover
Eurasian Curlew
Yellow Wagtail
White-tailed Plover
Duraian or Turkestan Shrike
Western Cattle Egret
Grey HeronBest of all Viv found a White-tailed Lapwing with a Glossy Ibis and managed to get a couple of photos of the bird which he kindly let me use on my website. It looks like Viv’s birding area is rich in birds and one I would like to visit one day.
