Very interesting wetland reserve in the winter period and the migration period. Good place to see Flamingo up close.

Beschrijving

Ras Al Khor is not really known by many bird watchers, but is highly recommended if you are in the area. The wetland reserve includes mudflats, lagoons, mangroves and salt flats and is renowned for attracting migratory birds in large numbers. More than 200 bird species have been recorded. Unfortunately he reserve does not have have a connecting road with the lagoons and mangroves, but who knows, maybe in the future. Species you can expect are Flamingo, Visarend, Westelijke Rifreiger, Indische Kievit, Reuzenstern, Lepelaar, Dunbekmeeuw, Mangrovereiger and Witoorbuulbuul and many waders. See the list below.
