Munzir went birding to
the southwest of the Kingdom on 27 June and went to the Raydah Escarpment. This
is a site near Abha and is the best place to see Arabian Partridge first thing
in the morning along the roadside. Driving down the escarpment is good but the
road is very steep. Common endemics seen at this site include Yemen Linnet,
Yemen Thrush and Arabian Wheatear along the roadside. Arabian Serin can be seen
at the farm and the village at the bottom of the escarpment. Munzir sent me
some of his photos taken there and has kindly allowed me to use them on my
website some of which are shown below.
