Viv was out
birding his local area of Tabuk last weekend and sent me a number of photos
including the below ones of a Eurasian Hoopoe. This is one of the most popular
bird species in Saudi Arabia, if my correspondence with viewers is anything to
go by. Luckily they are a common bird
throughout the country with many being resident and some even breeding, particularly
in the southwest highlands and the Eastern Province. Viv has kindly allowed me
permission t use his photos below which remain his copyright.
