Looking for See See Partridge – Sakaka

We went to Sakaka in the hope of locating See See Partrige that has been seen there in the past. We went to a location, on two separate days where birds were seen in 2017, but failed to find them or almost any birds of any type. We only saw a few White-crowned Wheatear, several Desert Larks and a five Crested Larks. The area is currently being developed, with large construction works going on, so maybe the Partridges have moved off because of the disturbance. Even when they were seen in 2017 they were only seen on one date despite additional searches of the area by the finders who were carrying out an environmental survey.
