Only one record of this bird in Kuwait before in 2001.
There were two of them, only one showed himself briefly to us, sadly with us facing the sunny side of the morning.

@Ajmal - thank, wish I could have gotten better shots, but hey, better than nothing :-) Thanks for ID-ing the tree! @Ashish - but you at least have the chance to see one again. Me, not so much ;-)

It is - It's a Sidr tree (Ziziphus spina christi or Christ's thorn tree) from the same family as the Indian Jujube (Zizyphus zizyphus). It is native to the region.......
