This was one lucky catch during migration last year here in Kuwait.
And one of those moments again where I’ve wished for a longer lens
Despite this fellow supposedly being a very common summer visitor and resident that even breeds here in Kuwait, I’ve only seen one of them this once (Info from Birds of Kuwait). Regarding that site, they seem to breed on an island that is close to the development of a new harbor. And if I got the news right, the development of that island is being eyed as well. That would be a big blow for the biodiversity here in Kuwait, in my uneducated humble opinion. But humans never learn, do they?
