Whilst birdwatching along the Khobar Coniche Arnold Uy found good
numbers of waders. I was birding the Jubail area at the same time and although
saw different species to Arnold it was obvious waders were on the move. Arnold
took some amazing photos of various species including Ruddy Turnstones, Curlew
Sandpipers and Common Redshank. All three of these species as=re common passage
migrants with Ruddy Turnstone the least common but still plentiful at the
correct time of year. The whole coastline of Taraut bay is excellent for waders
but it is not so easy to get close up views like Arnold has managed. Arnold has allowed me permission to show some of his photos on my website which can be seen below.
