This imm Bonelli’s Eagle came to check out our picnic lunch the other day. A relatively common species in the Dhofar region… #birds #birding #omanbirding #Oman #BirdsSeenIn2025

To see the stunning Eversmann’s (Rufous-backed) Redstart in Oman, you really need to go to Musandam. We found 6 on the Sayh Plateau recently, making that 7 on one trip overall as we’d already found one at Shisr, en-route to Salalah. Wow! Oman rocks! #omanbirding #birding #nikon

The 1st Plain Martin for Oman has been present for over a week at Muntesar Oasis. Wonder where it will go from here? #Oman #Omanbirding #birding #BirdsSeenIn2025 #mega #nikon

Red-tailed (Persian) Wheatears seem to be more numerous than in previous years and you can see them at most rocky/mountainous sites in the north of #Oman #birding #omanbirding #BirdsSeenIn2025 #Nikon

We found 4 more Eversmann’s Redstarts on the Sayh Plateau recently. Very interesting to see a couple females as well as the more striking males. There’s been an influx of this species during November & will be interesting to see how long they stay. #oman #Omanbirding #birding
