Birds in the desert near Tabuk – Bird records by Viv Wilson

Viv Wlson was out birding at the weekend but some rain and a cloudy day with strong wind meant not a great deal was around at either Disa or in the desert. Viv managed to find a Common Kestrel on the cliffs and took a few nice photos of it. On the cliffs in the desert he also found Tristram’s Starling a species that is resident in the region along with a late wintering Eastern Mourning Wheatear. I thank Viv for sending me the details and allowing me to use his photographs of the birds on my website some of which are reproduced below.
