Migrants in Dhahran - bird records by harald Ris


Harald Ris has been back in Dhahran recently and has been driving around in main camp and Dhahran Hills most of the time and managed to see some good birds. He saw 15 Ortolan Buntings along with other migrants such as Willow Warbler, Lesser Whitethroat and Pied Wheatear. Harald also saw a Spotted Crake at the small pond on the golf course. I thank Harald for sending me the details and allowing me to use some of his photos on my website.
