A few waders at Five Fingers Bay - Bird records by Jessar Inocencia


Jessar Inocencio went out for birding in the morning of 22nd November 2012 together with fellow birder Delbert Harder at Five Fingers Bay (near the Khobar Water Treatment Plant) to check for some winter birds. They were only a few of them there and they saw 14 Large White-headed Gulls (mainly Steppe Gulls) which are lifers for Jessar. There were also one Common Redshank, one Common Ringed Plover, one Kentish Plover, five Indian Reef Herons with both Grey and white morph present, one Eurasian Hoppoe, five Crested Larks, and a number of Common Mynas and Doves. Jessar kindly allowed me to use some of his photos to go with this report which are shown below.
