There is a separate page on all Birds of Oman spotted by us.

On the campus of Sultan Qaboos University, some 50 km west of Masqat, Oman, the following birds were spotted by us during the period from August 2009 to May 2010. They are listed here in four categories, according to the timing of their sightings. Because of the limited time span covered, some entries may be incorrect.
