In early September I saw a nice
Temminck’s Stint along a wet ditch in Jubail. Unfortunately it was not very photogenic and the below poor photo is the only one I managed. The species is a passage migrant
and winter visitor that is a regular migrant in small numbers almost always
away from the coast. It occurs in April and May and again from September to
November. Some birds do winter in very small numbers at some suitable inland
sites such as Sabkhat Al Fasl near Jubail.
