Birding Alheefah Park - Tanoumah
Alheefah Park is normally very
popular but as it was Ramadan when we were there, the number of people was much
less than normal. The park is right on the escarpment edge and has breathtaking
views, and is covered by large juniper trees and acacia scrub. The large trees
are good places to see birds and Phil Roberts located a small group of Bruce’s
Green Pigeons in good light where I managed to get a few good photos. There are
plenty of rocks and hillsides and we heard Phlby’s Partridge calling soon after
arriving and eventually located a single bird calling from the top of a rocky
hill. As it was getting late and we want to look for owls we did not stay too
long at the site with the only other bird photographed a male Palestine Sunbird.
