So we probably miss more than we see, it is a much under watched part of the world. ...And you all do a very good work and rather hard one...therefore compliments...As I love North African and Middle Eastern countries I would like to help, that's it.I would love to go to Kuwait, this winter my best friend Hans "HASSE" Larsson invited me to join his Swedish team but I was short of money to join :-(  So SAD!They have seen so many nice species, and came back very full and satisfied! I would ask also him about the pipit, that indeed, looking with a fresher, more objective eye, later after first impression, is rather interesting and odd bird indeed....Hans' opinion wuld be helpful as he is one of the very TOP birder I ever met and I knew...Thanks foir sharing all your ME records and obs.Another matter, in the ringing webpage you sent as link, after some pages of searching through the photos, I noticed a Desert Wheatear ringed as Isabelline WH. or at least labelled on the webpage as so....I think it shouldn't  be Issy, a species which I knwo rather well If you like we can discuss also about this...</blockquote>
