Whilst in the Jizan area, it is always worth going to Wadi Jizan Lake. This is a large wetland area, although sadly the water levels are dropping considerably, and habitat is becoming poorer for birds. As it is a large wetland, waders can often be seen in good numbers with Black-winged Stilt being common. In summer it is a good place to see Black-tailed Godwit and throughout the year restricted range species such as Red-eyed Dove and Zitting Cisticola can be found. Spur-winged Lapwing is also a regular species at and around the lake. We also found two Intermediate Egret, a species that is becoming a regular occurrence at the location.
