Here's one more pic of the same individual.

Here's some snaps to give a general idea of how the "Wadi Landscape" of the Mountainous areas looks like.

Last but not the least a Purple Sunbird.

When I saw him come and sit next to me I realised how much I really miss Birding in India.

Larking outside Safa

Look who I found today - Crested Lark - outside the Safa Park in Dubai.

Safa Park in Dubai is the most extensively bird watched area in the city with a very impressive birdcount of over 230 species. Though the ever increasing amount of construction work in Dubai and especially near this park must be having adverse effects on the birds that used to frequent this beautiful 70 hectare public park.

And here's one more pic of this fellow.

Back to Birding

Back to Birding after a long while and got a dream shot of the Black-Headed Gull with the famous Burj-Al-Arab hotel in the background.

Here's one more of the Black-headed gulls. There were 100s of these guys at the Beach today.

These guys are quiet common in this season here in Dubai, in public parks and in private gardens.
