Thank you! I also thought about this species. But the last time it was added to eBird checklist in South Sinai was 7.11.1981. That is why I was a bit confused.

I saw one at Sharm in March 2010 (my only visit).

some regions are really poorly covered by ebird. must be regular on migration out there.
