We saw a few other birds (Desert Lark, Desert Hoopoe, & Desert Wheatear) but it was amazingly quiet & an opportunity to see the mood of the desert & a glorious sunset.

Desert birding
I went birding yesterday afternoon with Gord Saunders (Newfoundland) into the desert about 45 minutes south of Doha to find an Eagle Owl. It had been seen first last Friday & is a hyper-rare bird for Qatar. It wasn't easy to see but we did find it. You can just make out its head & ears hiding in the crevice in the upper centre of the photo!
