Non Waders and Dammam -Al Khobar Wader Roost South

Although  the Dammam - Al Khobar Wader Roost South is a great place for seeing waders, in particular Crab Plover, it is also good for other species. Here are a few shots of non waders taken at the site over the last few days. The Saunder's Tern allowed good views of the rump in flight just after this shot was taken including some poor photographs allowing for identification as they are not easy in non breeding plumage.
