    Urban Birding in Kuwait - November 2023

    Sorry, I didn't get as far as Al Jahra so I'm not really sure. Looking on ebird hotspots, it says Al Jahra requires a permit but doesn't say anything for the outflow.

    Urban Birding in Kuwait - November 2023

    I'm not sure exactly where I was. It was the nearest bit of beach to the bus stop and I could see Flamingos all across the bay. I know there's the Al Jahra outflow and then a Flamingo watchpoint nearer Kuwait City. I would have been somewhere between those two points.

    Urban Birding in Kuwait - November 2023

    26th Nov 2023 Kuwait is good for birds but not so good for independent birders. It seems like most of the best locations require permits or, for some of the more localised species, a bit of local knowledge. Despite this, it is still possible to find decent birds in Kuwait City using the...
