Hi Dave, I hope you don’t mind me asking, a group of us from Sussex are thinking about a birding trip to Oman next Feb. I saw your posts earlier this year and wonder if you have any advice.
Have read a few trip reports but can’t decide on how best a 10/12 day trip.
Thanks Bruce
Clifden Nonpareil in my moth trap morning was a massive surprise. What an amazing moth. Wiston West Sussex.
