Waders – Khafra Marsh

I visit Khafra Marsh recently and saw a few waders on a small pool. They were a Black-winged Stilt, Kentish Plover and Little Stint. Nearby the breeding Red-wattled Plovers were still around as were the breeding Blue-cheeked Bee-eaters, both rare breeders in Saudi Arabia. Activity was very slow as I arrived at 08:30 and the light was already not good for photography. A few Nanaqua Dove were seen in various places and Graceful Prinia were about but very little else.
