Brown Pelicans were always present and regularly dove for fish, as you can see in the above photo. In addition to the White-crowned Pigeons there were White-winged Doves that were more tame than anywhere I had ever seen them, Zenaida Doves , and feral Rock Pigeons. What the resort did have was a variety of pigeons and doves.

Migrants were also present, including some Ruff, Common Sandpipers, Little Ringed Plovers , and Wood Sandpipers. Laughing Dove and Feral Pigeon were present, as were Hoopoe and Little Bee-eaters, but it was the wheatears that stood out. All in all a pretty sweet spot. Not an Arabian Oryx, but pretty scenic none the less.
