Whilst birding Jubail area recently I
have seen a few species that are less than common at the site. Harriers are
normally not seen with the exception of Western Marsh Harrier which is common,
so seeing a few Pallid Harriers was a surprise. Glossy Ibis is also not common
and only seen once or twice a year, despite the area being one of the best, if
not the best, wetland in the region. Western Great Egret was scarce at the location
but has become common at the right time of year, with hundreds seen together occasionally.
White-winged Tern and Dunlin are common passage migrants to the location.
