The last few Egyptian Nightjars are still
present in Jubail although I suspect this will be last time I see them this
year. I saw five birds in different locations during the day, but they normally
leave in early September. Wader numbers continue to build with large numbers of
Common Ringed Plovers seen and smaller numbers of Terek Sandpipers and Grey
Plovers. Numbers of Squacco herons are increasing steadily with well over fifty
birds seen and a couple of the less common Little Bittern also present.
