Just want to share my sighting (Tuesday, 3 November, at 07h.35) of several Cream-coloured Coursers (Cursorius cursor). This has been one of my "target" birds since arriving in Qatar. It is a semi-desert bird & migrates down this way from Iran, Iraq, Syria, & Jordan. It also happens to grace the front cover of my well-thumbed "Birds of the Middle East" & has eluded me for for the past 14 months.
