Jordan Day 5 Aqaba

Cretzschmar's Bunting, in the 'green space' allotment area near the beach front
Whitethroat presumed of an eastern race perhaps icterops. We saw several in the green area
House Crow
Laughing Dove
Little Stints at the sewage area
Slender-billed Gulls
There was a constant stream of migrating Steppe Buzzards (though few other raptors). Top pic shows the rather vulgar looking Israeli city of Eilat in the background
Tree Pipit
White-eyed Gull with a Slender-billed Gull (awful pic through van window, which was closed!)
This bird appears to have a damaged leg, unfortunately. Photographed at the sewage pools
