Before Christmas Day of last year the largest flock of Sociable Lapwings ever reported in Oman was 48. But on 25 December 2010, Spanish birder Daniel Lopez Velasco, who was on a birding trip to Oman with friends, found a flock of 90+ of the critically endangered bird. You can read about it at BirdLife International or see a short video of one of the birds feeding here.
