Another day of chasing targets. We drove south this morning to look for Purple Sunbird and after failing at a couple of sites we finally connected with a pair with the help of local birders Neil and Paul and also from Pierre and Paul from France (who pinned a few down earlier in the month).
We couldn't access the Asian Desert Warbler site due to construction but picked up a few Desert Wheatears, Isabelline Wheatear, Tawny Pipit and Indian Silverbill from the car.
We then had a quick look at Zour Sewer Plant Reeds (not much there) before heading over to Abu Al-Hasiniya for the Crested Terns before heading back to Kuwait City Bay.
Live trip report HERE.

After yesterday's problematic Shrike I'm going to hold fire until I get back to my literature before we decide whether this is an Isabelline or a Red-tailed Shrike.
