The Egyptian Nightjar Caprimulgus
aegyptius is an uncommon bird in Saudi Arabia but birds are regular in the
Jubail area in the summer. This year good numbers of birds have also been seen
in Al Hassa during the summer months and this is where Prasad Shinez and his friends saw at least eight birds. With the number of birds recorded this year in Al
Hassa and Jubail there is a very good chance birds are breeding. The
photos below were taken by Prasad and
he has kindly given me permission to use them on my website. I also thank Vinu
Mathew for arranging the permission for me.
