Today I went to Badaan farm

I was taken to Badaan farm in Bahrain by Bahrain's bird recorder, Howard King. Howard is a bit of a character so we got on very well. Here's just a few of the pictures I took. For any thieving burgers out there, these are copyright to me.


This is a barn swallow. Very hard to catch in flight. I was lucky enough to get this.


Probably the last view a bee gets of this blue-cheeked bee-eater.


They may be called bee-eaters but they also eat grasshoppers.

The birds are gorgeous enough without me, I just try to do them justice.

Yet they still crap on my car.
