We start the day looking for Red-bellied Sandgrouse in the desert near Mudayy. The "problem" is that there has been too much rain, which gives the birds more choice to drink. We see thousands of sandgrouse in the distance, and a few nearby. But unfortunately they are very shy. Still in the desert we find ("we" is usually the guide of course) Arabian Desert Partridges. At the same wadi near Mudayy we see (not the guide now :-)) gazelles, a very rare species.

After the dry desert we take a trip along the coast. There too we see nice species, including the Knobbed Coot, Fan-tailed Raven and Asian Golden Plover.
