As I had seen a few close Greater Sand Plover & Lesser Sand Plover on the coast at Al Uqayr I was planning on visiting this area earlier in the morning when the light is better for photography. As it turned out I went at almost the same time as the week before because the birding in the farm was good and I stayed longer trying to get some good photos of the Common Chiffchaffs. There were a few more Greater Sand Plover & Lesser Sand Plovers than the previous week with approximately ten of each and a couple of Kentish Plover were also seen close. I got some quite good photos of al the species mentioned which are shown below but will probably try again to see if I can get there earlier and hope some other species of waders have arrived.
