Ok so got myself a lifer this morning in the shape of a European Honey Buzzard, my main objective of course was to get good images of the bird. This proved to be impossible as each time I flushed the bird it just flew between dense wooded areas, no chance of an aerial photograph. Will give it another go tomorrow !
However whilst wandering around I did come across a nice Wood Warbler, not too many records for the UAE, or at least a reasonable rarity. Having said that though this is the 2nd bird I have seen in just over a week.
Some images from my early morning walk.
Immature Striated Heron (Butorides striata)
Common Greenshank (Tringa nebularia)
Wood Warbler (Phylloscopus sibilatrix)

Very nice serie, the Striated Heron is very nice! The 2 first image of wood warbler are awseome!
