Listen again to Season 4 - Episode 16 here:
We apologise for the quality of last week’s episode and direct the listener to the preceding Lauren Evans episode - which is much better.
We shoutout Rob and Andy for saving last week’s episode.
DDL is in Jazan, Sloughdia Arabia. Mainly looking for African species.
We do a geography lesson live on air.
DDL has enjoyed Yemen Thrushes, Tristan’s Grackle, Yemen Linnit and Arabian Serin.
Everyone thinks DDL should’ve taken Jonny R with him for safety.
We all agree that Ian would be a nice stalker:
Jonny H has mainly looked at Pink-footed Geese and a Chiffchaff.
Jonny R found 5 Waxwings and a singing Blackcap.
Jonny R is fresh home from Welney and a mad egret fest with; 20 Cattle, 2 Great and 1 Little Egret - with a Spoonbill thrown in for good measure:

DDL and Jonny H just missed out on the 1859 Sandgrouse invasion. We talk sandgrouse and how cool they are.
The Yellow-rumped Warbler is cheeky.
Spotless Starling - next for the UK?
