We have one day of off-road vehicles with a local guide. He knows the area like the back of his hand and knows how to find special species. Not only because he looks well, but also because he has a network of informants who call him.
You don't find nightjars, for example, they are pointed out to you by someone who has been looking for hours. In this case, a goat herder heard the nightjar at night, and in the morning he searched for 4 hours until he found it: the Egyptian nightjar. Then things go quickly: our local guide received a phone call. It was a good half hour's drive through the desert, and the man showed the bird. The suggested tip as a thank you was 200 durham (20 euros).
He also found the lanner falcon in a rock face and the sandgrouse in the desert after a tip. The crowned sandgrouse was one of the species that the guide was able to find after a phone call. However, it had rained a lot a few weeks ago, so the sandgrouse did not have to come to the drinking places. After two hours of searching without any results, the redeeming message arrived
