The number of waders in the Jubail area is increasing with one or two
quite unusual species being seen. An early Broad-billed Sandpiper was an unusual
sighting by a small area of water alongside a track as was the well marked
Black-winged Stilt seen previously that is still in the same area. More usual
waders included good numbers of Kentish Plovers, Black-winged Stilts and Common
Redshanks with smaller numbers of Little Stints, Ruff, Common Snipe and Green
Sandpipers. Wader numbers should start building up over the next few weeks as
migration gets into full swing.
