Ragu who is
a doctor who lives and works in Buraydah has sent me many photos over the past
few months and I have included here a number he sent last month of a few migrants
he saw whilst out in his local area. There is nothing too unusual species wise
but good birds to see nevertheless. Ragu saw species that I have also been
seeing in Dhahran including Spotted Flycatchers and European Bee-eaters tow species
that have been particularly common this year. Other good migrants Ragu saw and photographed
were Red-backed Shrike and Red-throated Pipit, two species that are quite
common but tend to pass quite late in the migration period and Rufous-tailed
Scrub Robin a migrant that stays to breed in small numbers. I would like to
thank Ragu for allowing me to use his photos on my website.
