Whilst birding Half Moon Reedbeds in Al Khobar, it was obvious from the calling birds that Graceful Prinia, Clamorous Reed Warbler and Caspian Reed Warbler were breeding in the reeds. There is a lot of building work going on in the area and bird numbers were low, but apart from the warblers there were a few Black-winged Stilts in the wet areas along with Kentish Plover, six Common Moorhen and a Grey-headed Swamphen. The latter is a species that has extended its range enormously through the Eastern Province reed beds in the last five years and is now resident in the Half Moon Reedbeds. This is a nice little area of reeds, but sadly due to all the building work they probably will not stay in the same state they are now for very long.
