Vinu Mathew sent me some photos of a male Siberian Stonechat he saw in
Saudi Arabia last week and I also received an e-mail from Arnold Uy who said he
has seen a similar bird as well. As I saw a couple in Jubail the weekend before
it seems certain they are passing through the Eastern Province at present. They
are an uncommon passage migrant and winter visitor to the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia. I thank Vinu for allowing me to use his excellent photos on my website.
