Descripción
Khor Rori (or Khawr Rawrī) is an estuary at the mouth of Wadi Darbat in the Dhofar region, near Taqah. Khor Rori is famous for the ruins of the ancient fortified port city of Sumhuram, but under birders it is famous because it is a major breeding ground for birds. If you continue past the ruins towards the edges of the estuary you can observe birds like Flamenco Común, Espátula Común, Morito Común, Cigüeñuela común, Archibebe Fino, Sooty Gull, Gaviota Picofina, Chorlitejo patinegro, Aguja Colinegra, Correlimos de Temminck, Archibebe Claro, Andarríos Bastardo, Pagaza Piconegra, Pagaza Piquirroja, Fumarel Cariblanco, Garceta Dimorfa, Garcilla Cangrejera and Águila Pescadora.
