Larks and Pipits – Jubail Farm
Whilst birding a set of pivot irrigation
fields near Jubail I came across quite a good number of Eurasian Skylark. They
were all using the wet pivot fields for feeding and occasionally flying out
into the dry edges before going back into the grass. Other birds seen in good
numbers in these fields included both Water Pipit and Tawny Pipit. A few
harriers were present over the fields, including both Western Marsh and
Montagu’s Harriers
