My recent visits to Jubail have turned up very few migrants. The only migrants that have been about in numbers have been Barn Swallow and Bank Martin as well as Blue-cheeked Bee-eaters. Many have been flying over but other have stayed for a short period of time resting up. Very small numbers of Western Yellow Wagtails have been seen and Pied Wheatears are slowly building up in numbers. A few winter birds have been seen to liven things up including reasonable numbers of Northern Pintail, Daurian Shrike and still five Black-necked Grebe. Heron numbers are increasing as are Caspian Tern.
