#Bahrain #Birds You can always tell when spring has arrived by the birds that you see. Blue Rock Thrush
#Bahrain #Bird At the moment, birding is difficult to say the least, with 288 missiles and drone interceptions. The stories of the ones that hit and exploded on this tiny island, beyond the pale. Was out this morning 5 enormous bangs overhead startled the birds as usual among them a Willow Warbler
#Bahrain #Birds Baltic Gull, quite a few around on most beaches. So dark compared to all the many other types thay are easy to spot
The photogenic Clark's Grebe from yesterday also gave me a #SideProfile, just before turning a little towards me, so today's #BirdoftheDay gets the same bird. #Birds #ECK 🪶

#Bahrain #Birds today, we have seen a flurry of reports of Redstarts. The ring was attached here
#Bahrain #Birds first Common Whitethroat of the spring passage recorded today
#Bahrain #Birds First returning Chiffchaff this spring recorded
Today’s #BirdoftheDay is #PrimaryColours and mine are yellow! A White-throated Sparrow and Horned Lark. I’ve been trying for a while to get a photo of the Lark’s “horns!”
According to Min of Interior, no injuries from the missile strikes, but since the initial attacks, over 25 other booms and bangs have been heard, 5 within the last 10 mins to my north
THANK YOU
Thankyou -
#Bahrain #Birds My first intended weekend birding after returning was spoiled by the soggy orange baffoon. I shall also share the view from my window an hour ago, after one of the previous barrages had put a big hole in the US Navy base in Bahrain. Centre/Featured species is a Broad-billed Sandpiper
I am currently at home in the UK after the sudden death of a close family member - I SHALL RETURN to Bahrain after the funeral, but until then will not be posting anything in the meantime.

The annual post-breeding moult of a shorebird lasts about three months - that's as long as a successful breeding season.

#Bahrain #Birds #Hawar currently around the Hawar archipelago, over twenty pairs of Osprey are breeding. Last year, we fitted three of the chicks with satellite tags. One chick met a short end, being electrocuted in Saudi Arabia. The other two are well-spaced out but remain within the Gulf.
always a possibility however would be a first for the Gulf
#Bahrain #Birds I DO NOT KNOW what this is, it looks more like some experiment gone wrong, but certainly a duck.. Seen at the max of my 600mm lens through a chain link fence, suggestions as to species, singular or plural, most welcome
#Bahrain #Birds Black-winged Kite, in a matter of years, a species that has moved from being a vagrant to a regular winter visitor, two have already been observed so far this month.
#Bahrain #Birds a regular winter visitor, the Northern Lapwing
The best #songbird in my neighborhood is the spot-breasted oriole. They sing an evocative but short melody. Native to Central America, a few breeding pairs were introduced to Miami in 1949 and have an established but not invasive presence here. #BirdOfTheDay #EastCoastKin #birds

Another bird from our pelagic trip... White-chinned Petrel (Procellaria aequinoctialis). The white chin is so tiny that you can't see it unless the bird is 2 meters away. 😀 #BirdingTasmania #BirdingAustralia #petrels #seabirds
From white-chinned to white-bellied. 😀 This adult White-bellied Sea Eagle (Ichtyophaga leucogaster) was following our boat for a while... no doubt hoping for a handout from all the fish guts we had on board. 😋 #BirdingTasmania #BirdingAustralia #eagles #seaeagles #raptors #birdsofprey
#Bahrain #Birds #Waders this weekend have been chasing waders. For most expected species, numbers seem normal; unfortunately, Broad-billed Sandpiper numbers seem much reduced. Could only find an occasional small group rather than the large flocks we are used to.
#Bahrain #Birds #Waders Marsh Sandpiper is a regular but numerically scarce winter visitor. Normally found close to fresh or brackish water, this one was found yesterday on the seashore.
