Whilst birding Jubail in September the
first real return of migrants was seen. Obvious migrants included European
Bee-eaters and shrikes including Red-backed, Turkestan, Daurian and Woodchat.
Other migrants seen were Northern Shoveller and Isabelline Wheatear with plenty
of Red-throated Pipits flying over. The injured Greater Spotted Eagle is still present
so hopefully, its wing is mending and it will soon be fit to fly. It has been
around for some months now and looks fit and healthy apart from its wing. Unfortunately,
it could not be caught for treatment. We also saw an adult Black-crowned
Night-Heron an unusual species at the location.
