Observation details
Roost seen from Kuwait Univ Campus, but located in dense locust-like trees on KISR premises. First birds arriving 1615h, mostly in groups of about 10-25, sometimes singles or pairs. Groups seem to be dropping out of the sky from up high and arriving from all cardinal directions. First sitting about in the open in tops of trees in front, then gradually dropping into cover or (most individuals) moving away to a roost tree in the back. New arrivals stopped just after 1700. Not at all disturbed by human presence or the extremely loud muezzin speaker close to the roost. Fairly quiet, a few calls heard only occasionally. A few Rose-ringed Parakeets mixed in.
