Iran is home to an impressive number of species of birds that vary from residents, that stay all year round, to breeding birds, that spend a good part of the growing season in Iran and to raise their young, migrants who pass through Iran with the seasons, to wintering birds who like to spend a good part of the winter in Iran to escape colder conditions up north. Some remarkable species you may observe are: Pleske’s ground jay, Desert Finch, Indian Pond Heron, Sind Woodpecker, Oriental white eye, Basra Reed Warbler, Iraq Babbler, White Breasted King Fisher, Marbled Duck, Sacred Ibis, Red Wattled Lapwing, Oyster Catcher, Hoopoe Lark, Eastern Pied Wheatear, Bluethroat.

Lovely visit, but if you want to see the birds I suggest getting there extra early or at sun-down. Its on migratory routes, so check first when these are. The sound of the motors is not conducive to bird watching either.

? What is the best time to go bird watching?

The best birding is often between dawn and 11am, when birds are most active
