Birds on the campus of SQU
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. Birds listed as present all year round are known sedentary species.
Bird species we have seen breeding on-campus (with at least a photo of a nest or nest entrance) are marked with a clickable superscript "N", leading to the relevant information.
One of the attractions, for both humans and birds, on the campus
of SQU is this pond, where many of the species listed above were
found
These pages are largely based on our own observations and those of our contributors. The structure of these bird pages is explained HERE. For more salient facts on any bird species please refer to a field guide.
