Whilst birding the Dhahran Waste Water Lake I saw a good number of birds but mainly the regular species. Two pairs of Eurasian Coot breed on the pond most years and at least two birds are present all the time. The heron numbers have changed slightly with no Night Herons seen but still over ten Grey Heron, two Purple Heron, Little Egret, Great Egret and ten plus Squacco Herons. A few Great Cormorant are returning and at least two Gull-billed Tern were fishing although I saw eleven sitting on the nearby cricket field. Pallid swift are still common as are Rose-ringed Parakeets, but they are both only seen in flight in the early mornings.
