Ahmed AlKassim who is an excellent
bird photographer from Riyadh sent me a few of his photos recently and has
kindly allowed me to use them on my website. I was with him when we saw an
African Paradise Flycatcher nest with both parents in attendance but after a
short while I left the nest site. Ahmed managed to get photos of Eurasian (Arabian)
Magpie in the same area a species with a very restricted range that some people
regard as a full species. Ahmed also took a nice photo of the little recorded
African Pipit so did well photographing unusual species on his trip to the
southwest.
