I was back at Mutla'a Ranch just after sunrise to see if I could relocate the Paddyfield and get some better images. It is amazing how abundance and diversity radically changes over such a short period
No luck at all and this morning there were very few Warblers around, other than this Upcher's Warbler.

| Upcher's Warbler (Hippolais languida) actively swaying and fanning it's tail |
And a Caspian Reed Warbler
 |
| Caspian Reed Warbler (Acrocephalus s. fuscus) |
It was actually pretty birdless, so I checked for invertebrates finding Green-striped White
 |
| Green-striped White (Euchloe bulimia) in flight |
Asian Grass Blue
 |
| Asian Grass Blue (Zizeeria karsandra) |
and a Lederer's Cupid/Small Desert Blue, a butterfly I first discovered at Mutla'a Ranch and haven't seen for ages
 |
| Lederer's Cupid (Chilades galba) |
I then headed to Jahra Farm which was even quieter, resorting to photograph a Laughing Dove coming in to land
 |
| Laughing Dove (Spilopelia senegalensis) |
and finding number of this moth species which I need to identify
 |
| Moth sp |
The only option after this was Egg McMuffin and back home
