QNHG members who went on the Field Trip to Al Ahamal park and the north coast had a reasonable successful morning's birding.
Although the Al Shamal park was fairly quiet we did see some red-throated pipits and a song thrush, and for the eagle-eyed there was even a rare sighting of a sparrowhawk.
Our journey along the coast and the harbour at Al Ruwais yielded a Pacific Golden Plover, a Black Redstart and a Spotted Redshank.
In all, largely due to the much appreciated help of Doha veteran birders Peter Shelland and Gordon Saunders, collectively, we managed to see 49 species.
It is hoped to arrange another birding trip in the near future, either to the same location, or, authorities permitting to Irkaya Farm.
