Al Mehfar Park area is a location
near to Tanoumah where we saw a lot of very good birds last year. Khalifah
spent some time here and also one evening where he located Arabian Scops Owl
just as we had done the year previously. Khaliufah managed to photograph the
two Plain Nightjars which is something we failed to do last year, although we did see Montane Nightjar and also saw
or heard seven Arabian Scops Owls as well as hearing Philby's Partridge and Arabian
Partridge. Also seen were Eurasian Griffon, two Little Swifts, three Green
Bee-eaters, five Pale Crag-Martins, two Yemen Warblers, two Gambaga Flycatchers,
two Yemen Thrushes, eight Tristram's Starlings, three Palestine Sunbird, Long-billed
Pipit, seven Yemen Linnets, two Yemen Serins, five House Sparrows and five Rueppell's
Weavers. Khalifa has very kindly allow me to reproduce some of his excellent photos below.
