Winter Birds in Deffi Park - Jubail

During the winter there were up to five Crested Honey Buzzards in Deffi Park. This location is becoming a regular wintering site for the birds but they often move off just after first light and have been seen sitting on street lights on the roads close by. Other regular wintering birds not seen commonly elsewhere in the Eastern Province include Lesser Whitethroat, Song Thrush and Masked Shrike. Common birds such as Indian Myna, House Sparrow and White-cheeked Bulbul make up the majority of bird sightings in the park but it is always a good place to look for the unusual winter birds and some scarities such as Black-throated Thrush.
