Shrikes in good numbers

Shirkes have been seen in good numbers in Jubail through the autumn with all species seen, some in good numbers. Daurian Shrike are the most common with good numbers of Woodchat and Red-backed Shrikes also occurring and slightly lower numbers of Turkestan Shrike. Single Lesser Grey, Masked and Great Grey Shrikes were also seen. The area is very good for shrikes with hundreds seen in ideal conditions, although numbers were nowhere near this high this autumn.
