Vinu went
to Sabkhat Al Fasl recently and took the following photographs of some of the
winter visitors to the location. He was on foot as all the access tot eh site
have been closed to stop illegal entry, as this location is a protected nature
reserve. He saw the Pied Kingfishers that have been around since October as
well as a number of White Wagtails, a species that has not arrived in the
numbers that they normally do this year. Vinu also saw a few Grey-headed Swamphens,
a species that can been seen almost any time you visit the location in good
numbers and that sometimes allow very close approach. I thank Vinu for sending
me the details of his trip and for allowing me to use his photos on my website
that are shown below.
