Waders moving – Jubail area

Whilst birding Jubail we saw a good number of various species of waders. There were plenty of Kentish Plover and Little Stints and lesser numbers of Ruff, Marsh Sandpiper, Dunlin, Curlew Sandpiper, Ruddy Turnstone and Lesser Sand Plover. Two Bar-tailed Godwit and Eurasian Oystercatcher were unusual sightings for this location. Numbers have increased significantly from the week before as passage starts to build up.
