Breeding Little Terns – Jubail

Whilst birding at Jubail last weekend there were a few Little Terns present. Little Tern bred again in Jubail this year with the first juveniles seen in very early June and now the birds can fly well and chase their parents around. Little Tern is not so easy to photograph well as they always seem to be out on the sabkha where you can’t walk as it is too soft. This is the fourth year in succession birds have bred at this location, which is very good news.
