Whilst birding Dhahran Waste Water Lake recently I have seen a few good species. Two Black-necked Grebes were with the fifty or so Little Grebes and were quite early for this wintering species. Wader numbers are building with up to thirty Black-winged Stilts, seven Common Sandpipers and a single Common Greenshank. Three Eurasian Coot are resident on the lake and five Grey Heron, one Purple Heron, three Squacco Heron and five Little Egrets were in the reed beds and flying around. Duck have just started arriving with six Northern Shoveler flying over and eventually landing on the lake as well as a single Garganey on the lake and several Gull-billed Tern were flying around catching fish.
