I visited Al Abraq this morning alone. Obviously the following night had been pretty good for migrants. Uppcher’s Warbler, Syke’s Warbler, several Olivaceous Warblers, Barred Warbler 2, Whitethroat and Lesser Whitethroat several, Red-breasted Flycatcher 1, Spotted Fly many, Basra Reed Warbler 1. Several Shrikes of which Red-packed most common. I saw also Scops Owl but couldn’t identify it. Two female Rock Thrushes were there too.
