Whilst birding the Jubail area I came across a number of good migrants throughout the autumn. Birds seldom seen in the area included Eurasian Wryneck and Rufous-tailed Rock Thrush, whilst Rufous-tailed Scrub Robin, Purple Heron, European Roller and Barn Swallow were all seen in higher numbers than usual. Blue-cheeked Bee-eater, Grey-headed Wagtail, Ortolan Bunting and Eurasian Hoopoe were also seen.
