Godolphin’s Al Quoz Stables in Dubai is home to a very rare bird at the moment. The spur-winged lapwing has been spotted at the stable’s wetland (located in the centre of the training track). It is only the third ever official sighting of the spur-winged lapwing in the United Arab Emirates, with the last recorded in 2003.©Tommy Pedersen
In addition to the spur-winged lapwing currently living at Godolphin’s headquarters in Dubai, there are also a number of Greater Flamingos residing in the wetland at Al Quoz Stables. The wetland was created in 1998.©www.godolphin.com
