11-14 December 2014 Hormozgan province- Minab and Jusks Mangrove jungle South of Iran- Hormoze straight resort There is nothing best than having a marvellous birding whilst you are in the middle of a business trip. I and my dear friends Atefeh,Adineh and Farhad had a wonderful birding in South of Iran. On first day at the khoor khalasi near Jusk I started to see lots of birds including the first of many Curlews, Sanderlings, Marsh harriers,Shikra, Dalmatian Pelicans and many of Gulls, Herons and Terns, There were also big numbers of waders present at bank of Khoor. On the second day a walk to the resort with my friends, was about 1km long, from khoor azini in hot sands which I saw many Desert lesser whitetroat, hoopoe lark and long billed pipit and we had amazingly swimming in Oman sea, at the end of costal birding we made our way to Minab for seeing White eyed buzzard so we did not have hold high hopes that the bird would be present when I headed out to Minab but fortunately an obliging White eyed buzzard posed nicely in the warm late afternoon sun on a wall near road. We are first Iranian that record this bird in Iran and I would really like to thank Meysam Ghasemi head ranger and admire birder for proud us to have him along on this trip. Thanks from Atefeh for writing down all records with prompt attention.
