Lovely to see birds from countries I have visited- I was in Bahrain in 1970 but was not a 'birder' then!

Nice shot!

A real beauty.
I would have expected a little more sharpness on the head with
the equipment combo you have ;)

Sorry about that DOC but I don't think the flash fired on this shot. :(
