Steppe Eagle - Dumat Al Jandal

Steppe Eagle is now a common winter visitor to Saudi Arabia, with thousands wintering in certain locations. A singe bird was seen in the Al Jouf area but gave great views flying around overhead. We originally saw the bird flying near a roadside pool but it was later seen flying further down the road where it gave better views. Steppe Eagles are globally Endangered so to see birds in Saudi Arabia, like any eagles, is always enjoyable.
