I don't get to see breeding-plumaged Pallas's Gull every day, but as i've has a bit of time to chill before my group arrives into Atyrau in West #Kazakhstan i've made the most of several individuals patrolling the Ural River. Nice! #BirdsSeenIn2026 #birds #birding #nikon

Throwback to January 2025 when a pair of Eye-browed Thrushes took up residence for a while in the Qatbit Motel gardens. Hopefully, everything will settle down by the Autumn & we can return to fabulous #Oman and find more rarities!

Using the car as a hide in the desert has its advantages!
Lots of larks feeding at Ayn Hamran southern plain. This one of two Montagu's Harriers hunting there this morning.
