Inspired by Birding Babylon just thought i would give updates on species i am encountering in Southern Iraq. Any other birders out there please feel free to add sightings.
Been in theatre for a couple of weeks and although i am very restricted to where i can go i'm surprised at the amount of species i've seen so far, in particular Waders. below is a list, not in any sort of order as yet but will get me started! Black winged Stilt Crested Lark Common Swift Avocet House Sparrow Spanish Sparrow White Wagtail Red Wattled Plover Collard Dove Kentish (Snowy)Plover Spotted Redshank Kestrel Redshank Ringed Plover Water Pipit Common Snipe Temminks Stint Red Necked Stint Bluethroat Laughing Dove White Tailed Plover Meadow Pipit.
Not too bad and hopefully will pick up more passerines when the spring passage begins.
