The heat is on in Oman, with temperatures in Muscat moving into the lower 40's C. The vulture we have been tracking has spent most of the past two weeks just north of Ibra, with a few journeys north to Wadi Sareen. It has also ventured a bit south of Ibra to the edge of the Wahiba Sands. It is interesting that this bird was caught near Muscat, spent a few weeks in Quriyat, then a few weeks in areas south of Sur, and now concentrates its movements mostly around Ibra. I wonder what makes the birds move? Or dwell, for that matter?
