We actually had a couple of days to warm up in Dubai. Just some local birding in Jumeriah Beach area. We stayed at Movenpick which was nice enough hotel just across from the Beach and the grounds of Jumeriah Beach Hotel and some spare ground.We saw Peregrine Falcon, Black-headed Gull, Red-vented and Red-whiskered Bulbuls, Little Green Bee-eater, Ring-necked Parakeet, Laughing Dove and House Sparrow.Then annoyingly we heard about an easily accessible Pharoah Eagle Owl in Mishraf Park that we didn't have time to go look for, so need to add that to the to do list next time we go through Dubai.Still an excellent trip with some high quality birds even if numbers were not hugely impressive.I'll add some photos (full size are now being added to flickr) and a full trip report with bird list in the next few days.</blockquote>
