Finally birdwatching in Kuwait this Autumn. First trip I made alone to Al Abraq and not for vain. First bird that I photographed turned out to be Shikra. There were many other migrants too including 8 Hoopoes, 5 European Rollers, European Nightjar, Booted Eagle, Black-headed Bunting, two Pallid Harries and 3 Redstarts among others.
