Vary slow migrant wise – Jubail

My recent visits to Jubail have turned up very few migrants. The only migrants that have been about in numbers have been Barn Swallow and Bank Martin as well as Blue-cheeked Bee-eaters. Many have been flying over but other have stayed for a short period of time resting up. Very small numbers of Western Yellow Wagtails have been seen and Pied Wheatears are slowly building up in numbers. A few winter birds have been seen to liven things up including reasonable numbers of Northern Pintail, Daurian Shrike and still five Black-necked Grebe. Heron numbers are increasing as are Caspian Tern.
