In a bizarre turn of events, once we arrived in Muscat the
previous evening the heavens had opened and a torrential rainstorm had ensued.
As a result many of the dry spots around Muscat had been turned into wetland the
following morning. It was a shame that we did not have time to look round them
but on our drive to the airport we spotted Red-wattled
Lapwing and Black-winged Stilt on
the fresh water bodies. A pair of Grey
Francolins was also seen on the grassy verges at the edge of the airport. The
final species we saw on our Oman adventure was Common Myna.
