There were two rare birds found recently at Jahra the Great White Pelican which used to breed in Kuwait early in the previous century and the Peregrine Falcon which also used to breed in Kuwait City for a number of years before it was trapped by a hunter a couple of years ago. Together Ouda Al-Bathali and I managed to see and photograph both birds.
