Some birds of prey from Tabuk area – Bird records by Viv Wilson
Viv sent me a number of excellent photos of a few birds,
taken in the Tabuk area, that are not easy to see in the Eastern Province.
Short-toed Snake Eagle is seen occasionally but is scarce whereas Sooty Falcon
and Barbary Falcon are rare. I have seen
all these species in Saudi Arabia but have only seen one Barbary Falcon in
Tanoumah, Asir Province in the southwest. Sooty Falcon I have seen on the
Farasan Islands as well as at Ragasat near Al Ula in Madina Province. Short-toed
Sanke Eagle Ihave seen more often in various parts of Saudi Arabia including
twice on the ‘patch’. I thank Viv for allowing me to use his photos on my
website.
