The Western White Stork is still about on the same football field as normal in Dhahran Hills. The bird has been about for almost a month now and gives fantastic views. It feeds around on the grass field by the sprinklers when they are on as it makes the ground wet and soft and the stork finds it easy to find food here. It also probably likes the cool spray as the spray heads are continually soaking it. I have not taken many photos of the bird recently as I do not want to disturb it too much, although it seems quite used to people now. These photos below were all taken on the same day when I got very close to the bird by hiding behind a row of trees.
