Jehad Alammadi found the
first record of breeding Striated Heron for Bahrain when travelling offshore.
The bird was nesting between some poles in the seabed as shown previously.
Jehad went back to the site and managed to photograph both the eggs and the
eggs and chicks. Birds are uncommon in Bahrain and are vagrants to the Eastern
Province of Saudi Arabia. I thank Jehad for kindly allowing me to use his
photos and for informing me of this very important record.
