UAE Tour Day 4
Time to move inland. We did the 2.5 hour drive to Al Ain last night to stay at the One-to-One Ain al Faida resort so that we could hit the local sites at first light. First was Green Mubazzara, normally pretty busy during the weekends but as it was a Sunday morning it was very quiet. Targets here were Hooded Wheatear, Blue Rock Thrush, Egyptian Vulture, Barbary Falcon and any warblers we could find in the back Wadi. It was rather quiet and we failed on the Hooded Wheatea


UAE Tour Day 3
East Coast Birding Woke to quite bad weather in Fujairah this morning. However with our targets of Persian Shearwater and Sooty Gull in mind we left for the beach ! It was raining and very windy so decided breakfast was probably the best thing to do initially :-) Fed and Watered we once again set out driving the coast line from Fujairah Port down to Kalba, starting with a sea watch, only had to wait 5 minutes before we picked up 3 Persian Shearwater skimming the surface
