Viv mentioned they have stopped the
water flows to the old area where he did his birdwatching, and have also done a
lot of burning there but there are still quite a few birds present. Viv has
found a new wetland area where they are pumping the water to, but it is not as
good as the old area for birds although he has been seeing good birds there as
well. In the last week Viv has seen Pied Avocet amongst the commoner waders.
This species is known to occur occasionally well inland from the coast in areas
such as Tabuk. Other interesting wetland birds seen have included Black-crowned
Night Heron and White-winged Terns with Pallid harriers and Black Kites being
seen in good numbers in the area as well.
