Birding Kabul

• Friday, June 6, 2008 - The Early Bird

For reasons I won't go into I watched the sunrise this morning and spent a couple of hours overlooking the football pitch area.  It held good numbers of sparrows, maybe 50+ about ten Mynas, a few Feral Pigeons and a single Hoopoe.  I was also rewarded with the sight of two Brahminy Starlings Sturnus pagodarum  sitting on the very crossbar that the shrike had been on earlier in the week. Another new bird for the area was a Collared Dove Streptopelia decaocto which flew the length of the pitch before disappearing behind some buildings.
