Additional pictures taken on 19/02/2013

I spent early mornig at Jahra Pool Reserve hoping to see and photograph Mesopotamian Crow. The crow showed up almost immediately after my arrival but it wasn’t easy to photograph. Khaled Al Ghanem managed to see two birds together. Later on when I had already left the place he managed to see 3 birds Is this species going to colonize Kuwait?. I visited Mutla’a Ranch in hope to see Mistle Thrush again but I couldn’t relocate it. However, Yellow-browed Warbler was still there but no chance to photograph it. I also visited Jahra Farms finding 4 Hypocolius. This time I couldn’t find Hume’s Leaf Warbler.
