Ragu has been birding near to Buraydah over the last few
weeks and has sent me a number of photographs of bird he has seen. Ragu has
been seeing a very similar selection of species to the ones we have been seeing
in the Eastern Province showing many of these birds pass on broad fronts
through the Kingdom. One weekend all the photos of species Ragu sent I had seen
that weekend as well but many hundreds of kilometers to the east of Ragu’s
location. Good numbers of Tree Pipits and Yellow Wagtails have been passing
through with other migrants including Rufous-tailed Scrub Robins, Turkestan
Shrikes, Spotted Flycatchers and Whinchats. Two species seen may be either late
wintering birds or passage migrants and were a Lesser Whitethroat and a
Siberian Stonechat.
