Rejith Muralee went to a
small lake on the outskirts of Dhahran birdwatching and found another Pied
Kingfisher. As mentioned before there has been a major influx into the eastern
part of Arabia with birds in many different places including up to 12 at
Sabkhat Al Fasl Saudi Arabia, seven in Kuwait, four in the United Arab
Emirates, two in Bahrain and one in Qatar. These are unprecedented numbers for
the region and I am sure there are still more to be found if birders look
carefully in suitable habitat near water. I would like to thank Vinu Mathew a
friend of Rejith Muralee for sending me the photos and details and for Rejith
for allowing me ti use his photos on my website.
