I spent a few hours at Jahra Pools this morning which was a lot quieter compared to last week.
Just inside the gate, I came across this obliging and perched Greater Spotted Eagle and I spent quite some time enjoying this magnificent raptor

It was hard to not take a few portraits as it intently watched the ground below the road
