I visited Jahra Farms with Edward Ryland, Paul Chapman and Daniel Mauras after first visiting Al Abraq Al Khabari. In Al Abraq we had Finsch’s Wheatear and Mistle Thrush but otherwise place was very quiet. Right after arriving Jahra Farms Paul pointed us Red-wattled Lapwing in Ali’s Farm and  soon after that he spotted a flock of 26 Bank Mynas. We saw also very promising canditate for male Shikra but couldn’t see it well enough.
