Euan Ferguson sent me a photograph of
Thrush Nightingale that he saw recently at Sharma, and that he has kindly given
me permission to use on my website. The Thrush Nightingale is an uncommon
passage migrant in the Eastern Province mainly seen from late April to May and
from late August to September. I have only seen a few birds on my local ‘patch’
in Dhahran with all records being in April. I also have not managed to
photograph the species yet. The species status elsewhere is in Saudi Arabia is
similar to that in the Eastern Province with small numbers of records from the
entire country. Earliest records are from mid-March and latest records from early-October.
