Jehad Alammadi sent me a
photo of a Streaked Weaver that he took at Hamala.
Jehad said he thought the bird had escaped but had seen lots of them, so
presumably they have a self-sustaining population there now? This species is
not seen in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia where I birdwatch although
birds are recorded in the Riyadh area in central Saudi Arabia. Jehad has very kindly allowed me to use his
photograph on my website but the copyright of it remains with Jehad.
