My love for flamingoes!!
Whenever I passed by the seaside in certain places  I would find a flock of flamingoes who would start to drift away as soon as anyone approached .These past few years I started to really try to get all sorts of shots trying to capture the beauty of these birds(I found out that up close they weren't so pretty)!!

Here are some of the little birds I have run into in Alkhobar....
Seabirds in the Arabian Gulf...stilts,herons ...etc
Stilts(I think)....as usual as I soon as I get close enough, they fly away!!
I got this shot from the causeway on the way to Bahrain,a not so nice guy passed by honking his horn and they flew away
More stilts.....still trying to fly away!!
Herons hiding in a manmade trench near the sea
White-cheeked terns hitch-hiking !?
Marching minah....hup two three four !!
Such hot weather....even the pigeons couldn' help taking a bath in the park
A common sparrow on the rocks....
The crow..that hateful bird (remember the movie The Birds?)
More on birds in the Arabian Penninsula
This winter 2006-2007...cold weather.. but lowtide means abundance of food..
Coldest winter yet in Saudi Arabia 2007-2008 lowtide and all kinds of birds looking for food,maybe they should've travelled further south?!
......... searching for food......
Bird Island........cuddling together in the cold foggy morning!!
