Whilst birding the Jubail area
recently I saw a few interesting herons. Many Grey Herons and Western Great
Egrets were flying around but also in amongst them was a single Purple Heron.
Numbers of Squacco Heron are also increasing as winter arrives with many
juvenile birds. Wader numbers are decreasing but the odd Greater Sand Plover
can still be found amongst the commoner Little Stints and Kentish Plovers.
Otherwise it is resident species that are making up the numbers with Indian
(Clamorous) Reed Warblers being seen in good number as are Grey-headed
Swamphens.
