Viv sent me a few photos a week or so ago
of birds he has seen in the Tabuk area and I have only just managed to get time
to add them to my website. One bird was a Black Bush Robin a bird that is not
seen in the Eastern Province but one that is expanding its range north and east
so hopefully will occur here soon. They currently reach the Riyadh area but no
further East. As always Viv saw a number of different species of birds of prey
including Pallid Harrier, Common Kestrel and Steppe Buzzard. He also continued
a good run of sightings of Citrine Wagtail, a species recently regarded as
scarce but now has a changed status of uncommon throughout the Kingdom. Viv
also mentioned that they are now pumping water back into his old wetland area
as well as maintaining wet areas in the new area where he photographed a few
Black-winged Stilts.
