Dubai 2013 - 16th March 2013

Sadly this was our last birdwatching day in Dubai and so I choose to visit Ajman. This area of coastline really appeals to me and the variety of birds seen didn't disappoint us.


Broad-billed Sandpiper
Curlew Sandpiper
Whimbrel
Caspian Plover
Golden Plover
Brown-necked Raven

The Caspian Plover and Brown-necked Raven were new species for me.

The next stop was Ras al Kamien, another wetland area.
Spoonbill
Turnstone
Oystercatcher
Grey Plover

As the end of the day was approaching we went to Umm al Quwain and managed to spot
Sanderling
Heuglin's Gull

The Heuglin's Gull was a new species for me. As our holiday, finished our trip list total was 120 species which included 15 lifers.

Another excellent time in UAE, full of new experiences and great memories.
