Weather fine Warm
Went over to a march 35 km
South of Trucial on the Iraqi
Long oboy. There were lots of Glossy
Ibis; about fifty in a flock (flock sen)
Ardeia salociles (Pond heron). I shot
one and saw another. There was
also an or two whitehead bird that
resemble a gull that I could not get
near enough to shoot. I also shot a
Centropus at Snoulou, a blue king fisher
