number of different species. Grey-headed Swamphen is common in the Jubail area
and phil saw one eating a dead Tilapia on a track. Other wetland birds he saw
included Wood Sandpiper, Common Ringed Plover, Common Moorhen and Western Reef
Heron. A few migrants were noted including Willow Warblers, Spotted Flycatchers
and a late Turkestan Shrike. Turkestan Shrike is a common passage migrant from early
