Dominique Brugiere was back in beautiful Oman over Christmas, where the mammal watching gets better and better.
Oman, 2020: Dominique Brugiere, 1 month & some nice species including Caracal, Striped Hyena, Honey Badger, Arabian Tahr and Blanford’s Fox.

Genetically Welsh, spiritually Australian, currently in New York City. I've also lived and worked in London, Canberra, Paris and Lusaka, and visited over 100 countries. There's more here.
Really interesting to me as we were there at the same time, with vastly different results … We did not see the Blanford’s Fox at the respective site, neither have we seen any Honey Badgers or Caracals, any Gerbils, ANY cetaceans – or Tahrs for that matter (but we did not talk to any locals for information, which seems to be a requirement). So our list would be Red Fox, Wolf, Striped Hyena, Arabian Jird, Arabian Gazelle, Common Genet, Small Mouse-tailed Bat and that’s it. Yes, we have spent only two weeks there and gave a lot of time to birding, but it still shows how terribly we such at mammalwatching 🙂
Nevertheless, one of the most intriguing things to me in this report is the brief mention of the White-tailed Mongoose – this is a species that should occur there but I don’t think any report ever mentions it. Now the mystery of whether it occurs or not seems to be solved.
