Raydah Escarpemnt - Abha
A winter visit to the bottom of the
Raydah Escarpment early in the morning produced good views of a number of
species. Arabian Babbler, Arabian Warbler and Shining Sunbird are common at
most times of year here but Ruppell’s Weaver is less common. White-browed
Coucal is seen with less frequency but are resident in small numbers in the
valley. They are extremely difficult to photograph properly and the ones seen
this trip were no exception. They are very good at disappearing into thick
foliage or hiding in large trees making things difficult photography wise.
