Saud Randhava a local birdwatcher from Taif
recorded a good fall of migrants whilst driving along the Taif to Riyadh road
on 22 April. He said there is a wildlife reserve either side of the road before
Zulfi town (approximately 500 kilometres from Riyadh) that is prohibited for
hunting. Saud stopped his car at a petrol station and noticed lots of birds
sitting on road side and some of them on walls. He managed to photograph a number
of interesting species and has sent me the details and allowed me to use them
on my website for which I am very grateful.
