A photographic guide to the Birds of the Red Sea, Egypt updated October 2024. The photographs have been taken by Georgina Cole who lives in El Gouna, an oasis for birds on the edge of the rocky Eastern Desert just north of Hurghada Airport.

Georgina's passion for bird photography began in 2019 when she began a voluntary Environmental Project to raise awareness of the birds.

Bird migration in the Red Sea is the second largest bird path in the world with around 2 million birds passing through. As well as the photographs, each species has been documented by Georgina on the worldwide eBird database for Al Bahr Al Ahmar (Red Sea). There you can find all the information about which species can be seen at difference times of the year, where they are breeding, migrating to, or if they are resident year round in Egypt.

The photographs have been taken with a Canon EOS R6 with RF100-500mm and RF800mm lenses.
