Viv Wilson
a birder from Tabuk who goes out almost every weekend and photographs birds has
sent me a number of photos recently of what he has been seeing. Most birds are
common passage migrants at this time of year and have included good numbers of
Barn Swallows and European Bee-eaters. European Bee-eaters have passed through
the country in much higher numbers than usual this year, possibly indicating a
good breeding season last summer. They have also been seen throughout the
Kingdom from the southwest to the northeast. Viv also photographed a Graceful
Prinia a species that is a common breeding resident and an Eastern Olivaceous
Warbler an uncommon summer breeder. Viv has kindly given me permission to use
his photos on my website some of which are shown below.
