Migrants - Jubail
A steady trickle of
migrants have been passing through the Eastern Province in the last couple of
weeks with several Red-backed Shrike appearing. Lesser Whitethroat, Spotted
Flycatcher, Common Redstart, Pied Wheatear, Tree Pipit and Western Siberian
Stonechat were also seen in small numbers. Very few Yellow Wagtails have been
around recently compared to recent years but small flocks of European and
Blue-cheeked Bee-eaters have been passing over mainly in the early morning.
