Again, I decided to explore further south today - but this time down to Kirhan and the Sea City resort, grabbing a McDonald's breakfast on the way.
Unfortunately, there wasn't much reward for the long drive, but it made a nice change from the usual haunts. Barn Swallows were foraging overhead - not sure if these are migrating early or part of the few that over winter

| Barn Swallow (Hirundo rustica) |
In an informal dumping area of building rubble, Isabelline
 |
| Isabelline Wheatear (Oenanthe isabellina) |
And Desert Wheatear were found - but no Red-tailed unfortunately
 |
| Desert Wheatear (Oenanthe deserti) |
Since there weren't many other birds to be seen, I checked for invertebrates and added a few butterflies to the morning's list; Blue Pansy
 |
| Blue Pansy (Junonia orithya here) |
Blue-spotted Arab which I have only seen in Kuwait since last year (where were they all the years before?) - actually a gorgeous little butterfly
 |
| Blue-spotted Arab (Colotis phisadia) |
And a Pea Blue or Long-tailed Blue
 |
| Pea Blue (Lampides boeticus) |
There were a couple of Wasp species, but I have no clue on the ID of these
 |
| Wasp sp? |
