Persian Gulf: Mangroves of Qeshm Island (1 Viewer)

The exact date of my travel to south of Iran was 4 April. After doing some social work with local people on hawkbill sea turtle (I should go here every year in nesting season), I could find a very short opportunity for surveying in mangroves. There are few populations of waterbirds in April. Most of them leave mangroves in the middle of February until March. Qeshm is the greatest island in Persian gulf with 12000 ha unique sea forest: Avicennia officinalis

Western Reef Heron and Whimbrel were the most species which did not leave yet.
