Beskrivelse: 30+ Sooty Falcons were seen from a boat-trip from Hamata Marina to the protected Qualaan Islands.
The cost is about 30 euro and the duration from 10.00-16.00 o´clock. Ask for the boat San Giovanni with the captain/owner Mustafa Safi.
Unfortunately I did not see Goliath Heron, but 3 Crab Plovers, 3 White-tailed Lapwings, 4 Black-winged Pratincoles, about 50 Bridled Terns, and lots of White-cheeked and Lesser Crested Terns were also good.

Sublimt supplement til værende billedmateriale af Sodfalk i NF galleriet - tak Rune !
Hvorfor spørgsmålstegn ved 2K ? Udelukkelsesmetode: Det kan vel hverken være 1 eller 3k, og dermed må det jo være 2k - eller hvad.. ?

Hej Nis
Tak for rosen.
Angående alderen, så har ret i, at det må være en 2K-fugl. Jeg undrede mig blot over, at undervingedækkerne fremstod så mørke og grålige, men det er vel bare sådan, de juvenile undervingedækfjer kommer til at ud efter et års slid.
På de to fotos af den aktuelle fugl ses, at i hvert fald et par af håndsvingfjerene er skiftet til adulte fjer i begge vinger. Det er lidt sværere at blive klog hvilke (om nogen?) af armsvingfjerene, der er nye.
I februar-marts vil sådanne 3K-fugle (som pågældende fugl vil være til den tid) fælde komplet til adult dragt i vinterkvarteret.
Spørgsmålstegnet vedrørende alderen fjernes.
Mvh Rune

Beskrivelse: At least 130 Crab-plovers were seen in Hamata Mangroves on this date. Perhaps on the largest counts ever from Egypt, but not the largest, e.g. were 144 birds seen in Hamata Mangroves in September 2003.
In 2010 a <a href="https://www.africanbirdclub.org/countries/Egypt/news">breeding colony of Crab-plover was found on small sandy islets off Marsa Shaab</a>, south of Shalatein.

Beskrivelse: Under min ferie ved Egyptens Rødehavskyst ultimo september 2010 så jeg kun Sortvingede Braksvaler, men ingen Rødvingede. Denne art er også den mest almindelige af de to under efterårstrækket i Israel, er jeg blevet fortalt. Under forårstrækket i Egypten og Israel er situationen omvendt, idet Rødvinget da er langt mest almindelig.
.........................................
During my visit to Egypts southern Red Sea coast ultimo september 2010 I only saw Black-winged Pratincoles but no Red-winged. This species is also the commoner of the two during autumn-migration in Israel I have been told. During spring-migration in Egypt and Israel it is just the opposite with Red-winged being by far the most common of the two.
