Phil Roberts went to Jubail on Friday and saw a Greater Spotted Eagle
perched on a lamppost as well as two more on the ground. Other wintering birds
seen included a Pied Kingfisher, half a dozen White Wagtails, Daurian Shrike and seven Western
Marsh Harriers. There were signs birds are on the move with a small flock of
Red-throated Pipits, plenty of Yellow Wagtails (one black-headed and the rest
beema). Phil also saw a flock of 100+ Ruff, two Common Sandpipers, two
Black-tailed Godwits and a Common Redstart. Added to that were the usual
residents, including 53 Grey-headed Swamphen and plenty of Indian (Clamorous) Reed Warblers. I thank Phil Roberts for kindly allowing me to use his photos on my website which are reproduced below.
