I was on the bridge taking a picture of the bird sitting on the cargo manifold so I could identify it. Could not believe my luck, of course far away. The bird took off and came up to sit next to me on the bridge and I could get a picture. Yet another bird I have never seen before  White-throated Bee-eater

The Night Herons took off and the crew was on deck working when I spotted the first bird using my bird drinking pool. I put it there not long after I joined the ship. And today I had a Pied Wheatear coming to drink water. Of cours, when I brought out my video camera the bird disappeared. Would have been nice to have a video of the bird drinking.

Approaching Fujairah anchorage with 4 knots. No sign of any wildlife until it was almost time to go down from my watch. I spotted a single bird far away and I was lucky, the bird came flying over us to check us out. I got a picture and it is either a Black or Brown-headed Gull in winter plumage. And I went straight down to check the internet after my watch to see if I can learn to see the difference. And I found the photography & birds web page. It is one of those web pages that you just know that you will revisit already at your first visit.  Brown Headed Gull vs Black Headed Gull
Picture from photography & birds and excellent page well worth a visit
