#Bahrain #Birds Greater Sand Plover, having been the subject of a recent split, the suggested new name is, Desert Sand Plover. A bad choice IMO, it spends 9 months of its life cycle on the coast in places like Bahrain.

Iran war still taking its toll.

#Bahrain #Birds Black-headed Wagtail

Beauty in the midst of a region embroiled in conflict: a Plain Tiger butterfly here in Qatar

I had another amazing session this morning with the Pin-tailed Sandgrouse near Pinoso Spain. If you look carefully you can see why they are called Pin-tailed. What a privilege to see 39 birds so close again. #birds #birdphotography #birdsseenin2026 #birding #naturephotography

#Bahrain #Birds today no peace at all. As the Holy month of Ramadan came to a close, we were subjected to a massive air raid. Outcome? The building I live in trembled during the numerous blasts. Bahrain fits into an area smaller than metropolitan London, a threat to whom, so WHY

#Bahrain #Birds Citrene Wagtail among the many wagtails currently on passage northwards

#Bahrain #Birds You can always tell when spring has arrived by the birds that you see. Blue Rock Thrush

#Bahrain Many so-called pundits are reporting IRAN is only attacking American military assets in BAHRAIN. The reality is, as you can see, that is a lie. This particular attack killed an innocent 28-year-old Bahraini woman and injured 8 others, not an American in sight.

@Photos2Print It's purely random - a total of 275 attacks, interceptions and around 20 hits. Hard to escape from not being affected

@BirdsofBahrain Nice set Howard - hope you are well and safe👍🏽

#Bahraiin #Birds increasing activity as the main passage of spring approaches

@clashreport There are no houses in front of this particular battery misfire would land in the sea. Drones targeting Bahrain have a low trajectory while missiles come in high Interceptors target both as they arrive in swarms Last night this morning we have had 15 ATTACKS

WATCH: It appears a Patriot interceptor malfunctioned and crashed into a neighborhood in Manama, Bahrain.

@krassenstein The prayer "how the f--K do we get ourselves out of this mess"

BREAKING: Moments ago at the White House this took place. A bunch of old people praying for a convicted felon, adjudicated rapist, who appears to have just blown up 100+ Iranian schoolchildren, while he hides the Epstein files, in which he appears in thousands of times. We are a joke.

@FrankRGardner majestic

Not thrilled to be missing covering the Middle East right now but this is why. We are in India. Seeing a Royal Bengal Tiger for the first time in the wild is an incredible experience.

@ricwe123 THIS IS A FAKE VIDEO. Whenseparates a missile hits, you don't get a white plume of smoke above the blast that instantly seperaates from the point of impact. I HAVE UNFORTUNATELY seen several over the last few days here in Bahrain -

Up to now, the Iranians have been deliberately firing their older missiles and drones, using them as expendable bait to drain US and Israeli air defenses. That strategy clearly worked. Now they’re escalating, rolling out their more advanced ballistic missiles and drones. So Israel is now taking more and more direct hits from Iranian ballistic strikes.....

#Bahrain #Birds not a good time for birding with strong gale force winds, thunderstorms, and rain, plus Trump's blessing on us all MISSILES AND DRONES. Day 4 and no real sleep and every boom or bang bye bye birdies

#Bahrain #Birds #Waders Eurasian Curlew (orientalis) with no appreciable decline in numbers seen this season

#Bahrain #Birds The loneliest bird in the Eastern Paleartic (population of one) arrived in the spring of 2024, and amazingly, it is still here. The Black Heron, an African species, is surviving well in the tidal pools at the rear of Sanad Mangrove.

#Bahrain #Birds: The influx of Pied Kingfishers continues, with the total now standing at 18; normally, it's one or occasionally two. They have been found in a variety of habitats, from coastal mangroves to golf course lakes.

@geminthebush Here in Bahrain on Tubli Bay

@BirdsofBahrain How beautiful it is ! , Where did you take it ? 😀

#Bahrain #Birds #Waders After a day's vigorous mudlarking, a bath is essential. Whimbrel
