Whilst birding the Jubail area in late June 2019 I flushed a yellow wagtail from an area of sabkha with tamarisk trees. The bird was very secretive and although flushed into the top of a tamarisk kept well hidden before dropping onto the ground and running off quickly. As I suspected the bird may be breeding I left the area quickly. Breeding has only occasionally occurred in Saudi Arabia with records from Al khaj in central Saudi Arabia with suspected occurrences in the Eastern Province. I have seen possible breeding birds in the last two years in the same area so assume birds are breeding here each year now, but positive proof has not been found.
