Whilst birdwatching at the Dhahran Waste Water Lake over the last couple of weeks there has been varying numbers of Northern Shoveler from three to a maximum of 16. This is one of the commonest ducks to occur at this location, but it is always nice to know the birds are in a safe place where no harm will befall them. Regulars included four Eurasian Coot, several Grey Heron, Western Reef Heron including a dark phase and light phase bird, Little Egret and Great White Egret. The Western Marsh Harrier is still around occasionally frightening the Great Cormorant. Only a few Common Chiffchaff and a single Eastern Stonechat have been seen by way of migrants and a small group of Indian Silverbill have been present for a couple of weeks.
