Dubai Holiday, Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary, November 26th 2008.

We only had a short time in the morning as we had booked a desert safari for the rest of the day (driven wildly up and down steep sand dunes in a 4x4, then we stop at a desert camp for food and entertainment) but enough time for a quick trip to the sanctuary, picture of Snipe and on the Sanctuary boundry fence a Great Grey Shrike, on the way back as we passed the last hide, sat on the fence next to the main road as we approached was a large raptor, we were nearly late but this was too bigger opportunity to pass up, and so I stopped to photograph a male Marsh Harrier and we just about made it on time for our safari!
