Whilst birdwatching in the Al Hassa area Arnold Uy saw a few good birds
including a number of migrants. The Egyptian Nightjars that Arnold saw a few
weeks ago are still present with at least five birds seen. This site, like the
one in Jubail, seems to hold Egyptian Nightjars throughout the summer now
indicating birds may be breeding somewhere nearby. Migrants also included the
first Lesser Grey Shrikes of the autumn as well as Isabelline Wheatears. An
Eastern Olivaceous Warbler may have been a migrant or possibly a still present breeding
bird. I thank Arnold for sending me the details of his trip and for allowing me
to use his photos on my website.
