Semicollared Flycatcher(a lifer) and some other interesting birds in Al Khober

Image
 While birding today in one of the the parks of Al Khober ,i found a semicollared flycatcher which is a lifer for me. I visited the park based on the knowledge that the season is here for this species and i ws lucky. There were like five flyctachers including females, an awesome sight i was not expecting.The park was full of bird songs and calls.Although i was on one spot of the park but it seems there could be more semicollarred around the park. Some other birds included common nightingale, COmmon redstart,lesser whitethroat, some leaf warblers and plenty tree pipits on the ground. This park has alway sbeen interesting as its location is just near to the coast.

Birding had been pretty slow this Quarter . I was able to capture some of the migrants in early march. Black Winged Kite is almost a resident seen since 5 years. Whereas other species are passage migrants on the return.
