Cattle Egret, Bubulcus Ibis, Kuhreiher
Egypt 2010
This one was taken at the place we lived. They walked right in front of our balcony over the green grass (yes, we actually had green grass), hunting for lizards.
And these were taken in Dahab, at the sewers. One big thanks to my friend Bernadette for taking me :-)

Osprey, Fischadler, Pandion haliaetus
Some of you might remember these photos from my crashed blog.
Inspired by Mike’s blogpost over at 10.000 birds, I decided to dig them out and post them again.
Photos were taken in South Sinai, Egypt 2009 & 2010

Birds up close
I finally got a sweet nice shot of a Rose-ringed Parakeet down at a small beach near where we live.

And while bending down,looking for sea glass and turning I looked into the eyes of a Juvenile Grey Plover, not even 3 meters from me.

He stayed put, eying me like a rare species while I eased my camera around my neck and snapped some shots.
He casually strolled away, while King (the Labrador) came tromping down the path.
I am still at awe with this morning.

Northern Shoveler, Anas clypeata, Löffelente

| From Birds Egypt 2010 |
From wiki:
This species is unmistakable in the northern hemisphere due to its large spatulate bill. The breeding male has an iridescent dark green head, white breast and chestnut belly and flanks. In flight, pale blue forewing feathers are revealed, separated from the green speculum by a white border. In early fall the male will have a white crescent on each side of the face. In non-breeding (eclipse) plumage, the drake resembles the female.
The female is a drab mottled brown like other dabblers, with plumage much like a female Mallard, but easily distinguished by the long broad bill, which is gray tinged with orange on cutting edge and lower mandible. The female’s forewing is grey.
They are 19 inches long (48 cm) and have a wingspan of 30 inches (76 cm) with a weight of 1.3 pounds (600 g).

Yesterdays birds

The weather is absolutely great right now, not too hot during the day and cool, almost chilly in the mornings.
I have spent 3 hours each day for the last 3 days at the beach, collecting sea glass.

I didn’t carry my camera with me and 2 days ago, I paid for it 
My friend, the Parakeet flew around in front of my nose and sat down on a powerline in plain sight. Right. Thanks

So, yesterday, I took the cam with me and got some shots, nothing great and no Parakeet, of course.

The loss of my data, including the gallery irks me in ways that just now surface. Birds I take photos of and can’t find in the Collins, but I know I have seen & shot them before…. I can’t go to my gallery and look them up. 
Like this fellow, he looks familiar, but I can’t place him (thanks to the Birdforum guys I know now it’s a Redshank, sigh My first for Kuwait, but I’ve seen him in Egypt).
My first for Kuwait, but I’ve seen him in Egypt).

I am sad that I lost all the Infos I collected, about parks and birds and also the Infos I had for birders that want to go to Sharm el Sheikh or come here. Maybe I’ll manage to get it all back together, but it’s a daunting task.
