four Rock Pigeons, two Dusky Turtle-Doves, five Laughing Doves, Alpine Swift,
25 Little Swifts, three Eurasian Hoopoes, Fan-tailed Raven, two Pale
Crag-Martins, five White-spectacled Bulbuls, two Scrub Warblers, Brown
Woodland-Warbler, two Graceful Prinias, Gambaga Flycatcher, two Blackstarts,
four Arabian Wheatears, three Violet-backed Starlings, two Tristram's Starlings,
three Palestine Sunbirds, seven Cinnamon-breasted Buntings and nine Rueppell's
Weavers. He has kindly allowed me to use two of his photographs below for which I am very grateful.
