Slender-billed Curlew site with John McLoughlin, Dave Beaumont and local guide Hassan. It got light at 07:30 with mist across the marsh which started to clear at 09:00. Two birds were located by John at 10:00 and were watched and filmed until 11:45 when they flew across the inlet to Merja Zerga. They spent most of the time feeding on raised grassy mounds.
