The large gathering of Hypocolius, near Uqair Fort, numbering at least 150 birds remained in the same location over the last two weeks and has allowed a number of great photos to be taken of the species in November. Below is a female taken by Munzir Khan who also photographed a Desert Wheatear nearby which he has kindly allowed me to use on my website. Uqair is approximately 100 kms by road from Dammam/Dhahran.
