For a nice surprise British team spotted Indian Roller just outside of  the car park. We have had before that only one day bird at Pivot Fields in mid December. After this unexpected record we headed to Green Island in hope to see Hypocolius but in vain. We had few Red-vented Bulbus over there. In the afternoon we enjoyed good views of Crab Plovers and other waders at Manchester Club. We saw also one Desert Wheatear. We ended our day at University Campus with House Crows and Rose-ringed Parakeets.
