Warsen Lakes , Dubai, UAE

First Blog for sometime. For one reason or another I have not had the time or inclination. However hopefully things are now back to normal and will hopefully post regularly again :-) Sat hidden in the heat this afternoon in the hope of getting a shot of a rather shy Spotted Crake. My patience and "numb" legs (as I was knelt down) finally paid off with a brief appearence of this very shy bird. A bonus whilst waiting was great views of a lovely Common Snipe that was very relaxed whilst feeding.
