My new birding hobby came from the realization that if was able to see 10 common birds that are unique to each city that we visit, soon I would amass a huge number of sightings. I did not see 10 new birds in London and the Cotswolds so I wanted to give Qatar another chance. So I went to the Al Bidda Park and saw three new life-birds! With the two birds a few days before, this gave me five new birds for Qatar.

This wooded area was filled with the calls of the common myna birds. It was so loud!
Just outside the wooded path a carved tree trunk
Time to head out
On the way out I saw low bushes with lots of bulbuls living there
These were bird cages
It was put up by the Ministry of Environmental and Climate Change
This path was for Camels!
A sign was posted to warn of these large beasts
