The last visit to the Jubail area produced at least three wintering Pied
Kingfishers. The birds cannot be seen in their normal area but we saw two in
different areas and a third perched on a power pylon, and unusual place to see
one. It will be interesting to see if the birds return or stay through the
summer. It is great to see such a magnificent bird in the area and would be
even better if they became resident. We also saw White-throated Kingfisher and
Common Kingfisher on the same day, making all the Kingfishers seen in the
Eastern Province present in the same area on the same day.
