Phil went to Sabkhat Al Fasl at the weekend and said
there were now quite a lot of migrants. The highlights were two adult Black-crowned
Night Herons that are not often seen at the site although 2015 has been a good
year for the species. He also saw two Eurasian Wrynecks, lots of Tree Pipits,
loads of Red-throated Pipits, Yellow wagtails (now mainly beema), two late
staying Greater Spotted Eagles, loads of male Common Redstarts, 100+ Barn
Swallows, a few Sand Martin, a Western Great Egret, two Common Kingfisher,
three Woodchat Shrikes and a few winter stragglers such as White Wagtail &
Water Pipit.
