DUBAI: The migratory bird Cream-colored Courser has been spotted at a wildlife reserve in Oman’s Al-Wusta governorate, two years after it was last spotted in the sanctuary.
Scientifically known as Cursorius cursor, and locally known as Darraj (Ad’Darraj, or runner), the Cream-colored Courser is one of many bird species widely prevalent in the Arabian Peninsula.
These species of birds live in semi-desert, pebbled and sandy lands with little vegetation or near cultivated lands or dry or grassy plains.
