Birds at the Al Khobar Corniche – Paul Kairouh

Paul Kairouh went birding to the Al Khobar Corniche recently and took a few photos of a number of local species. Isabelline Wheatear and Pied Wheatear are regular passage migrants through the Eastern Province at this time of year. Paul also saw a number of birds on the seafront including Ruddy Turnstone, Whimbrel and Greater Flamingo all of which are passage migrants and winter visitors with Greater Flamingo common and the other two uncommon.
