Arnold went to Sabkhat Al Fasl with some of his photography friends
trying to photograph Pied Kingfisher. He managed to take a number of good
photographs of the Pied Kingfisher as well as one of the White-throated
Kingfisher that I had told him I saw last week. They spent quite a lot of time
getting good shots of the birds but their efforts were well rewarded and Arnold
has very kindly sent me and allowed me to use some of his pictures. Arnold also
wanted to photograph Greater Spotted Eagle but had less luck with this species
as they were mainly flying around at some distance. As they stay around all
winter there should be plenty of time to go back and try again. He did also manage to get a couple of nice photos of a Little Grebe eating a very large fish (for it at least).
