A visit to
Deffi Park was conducted early on Friday morning, as we were unable to enter
the farm that was our first option for birding for the day. As a result we went
to inner city Jubail and visited the well-kept Deffi Park in the hope of see
some good wintering birds. Kuwait has had some good birds such as Brambling,
Fieldfare, Eurasian Greenfinch and Goldcrest all of which are potential
visitors to the park as the habitat is suitable. Unfortunately we saw very
little there with the exception of plenty of Common Chiffchaffs. The only other
noteworthy bird seen was a juvenile masked Shrike with few birds seen in
general with the exception of large numbers of White Wagtails. This park does
look excellent for birds in particular thrushes so we will be visiting again
before the winter in finished.
