Alpha adventure: Afghanistan via UAE (Jul 2019-May 2020)

This was a work trip, and I lived on big base near the airport in the capital Kabul, so nature sightings were few and far between, just a few birds and some interesting insects.

Transit through the UAE facilitated a couple of trips to the Ras al Khor nature sanctuary - a wetland completely surrounded by high rises and cityscape, but still home to lots of birds including migratory flamingos, and the very cool Common Hoopoe!
