Wader numbers building - Jubail

Wader numbers in Jubail have been fluctuating quite a bit week by week with Little Stint always the commonest species seen. Recently the number of Dunlin have increased slightly with a few juvenile birds in with the adults. Numbers of Ruddy Turnstone appear to be increasing in the Eastern Province in recent years with birds normally hard to get good photos of, but the last few weeks I have managed to get a few nice shots of a few different birds. Eurasian Curlew is another species I find it difficult to get good photos of, with only one or two birds seen in recent visits.
