Qatar pictures

My sister sent me a link to some Qatar-related Flickr groups last week. A lot of the pictures have nothing in particular to do with Qatar, but some of them are fun.

Smaller, English-language Qatar Flickr pool

It's a Falcon not a Hawk. Falconry is still very much alive as a "sport" in these parts of the world, in those countries that these species are not protected/conserved. A wounded falcon was recently caught here (near the Syrian border), with some of it's "gear" still attacked. It was untangled, treated, ringed and released.
