a rare record for it in western Arabia, and this is my third since Oct 2009.
now the experts starting to believe that those few who come here do spend the winter also.

A fantastic shot of this local rarity ... great work, Duha ... kudos ...
 
It's a splendid bird Doux, and I do like the angle you have caught with all that magnificent plumage showing perfectly. It's really well detailed, the eye is really bright and watchful.
 
A real beauty Dulce! superb detail and pose...love the setting too, very well done :t:
 
Superb capture. Thank you for the comments on my bird pics from Egypt. I really thought about ammadoux/you when I was there. Not easy to get captures in such a short time with a decent level of quality. I saw your pics in IBC as well and I felt really happy when I was so close to some birds of the desert. A very challenging habitat.
