March is migration period. Should be good birding.
I've only birded in Qatar. The best place to bird is Irkhayya Farm but you
will need a local to take you there. It's about an hour's drive from the
airport. There is a Qatar Birding List (not sure how active it still is)
or the Qatar Natural History Group which could put you in touch with a
local birder. let me know if you choose Qatar and I can link you up.
