Hunting Pallid Harrier (Circus macrourus), Azraq Wetland Reserve, Jordan
The IUCN lists the PAHA as Near Threatened (NT)... beautiful animal... four raptors buzzed all the pond birds this morning - the PAHA, a Black Kite, a Marsh Harrier and a Honey Buzzard... just wow...
Friday the 13th.. driving the new car to Azraq - first trip out of town with it... maybe would not have gone if I had looked at the calendar... anyway, another great birding day at Azraq... this week heading down to Aqaba on the Red Sea for work but bringing my birding rig... should be fun... :-)
