Site Details - Safa Park, UAE

Safa Park is an established 70 ha. green space in Dubai (25°11'20.24"N, 55°14' 29.86"E) with three small lakes set in open grassland with scattered trees. In the centre of the park is a wooded area of particular interest for migrant and wintering passerines.

The woodland is home to breeding shikra and is a regular wintering site for olive-backed pipit and forest wagtail. Arabia's first red-flanked bluetail was found here and it is where I found a European robin in 2011. The lakes often have little grebe, geese and ducks.
