The Percolation Pond has been dug out and refilled with water recently and now holds lots of ducks. Well over a hundred Northern Shoveler were present with fifty Eurasian Teal. Three Pochard, a single Gadwall and two Mallards were also present. Apart from this there were 22 Black-winged Stilts, well over two hundred Common Back-headed Gulls and 13 Little Grebes. Luckily this area is very safe for the duck as no hunting is allowed and there is strict security in the Aramco compound.
