Highest ever count of Pied Kingfishers in Saudi Arabia – Sabkhat Al Fasl
As mentioned in a previous post there appears to have been a significant influx of Pied Kingfishers into the eastern part of Arabia in late October and early November 2015 with birds seen in the United Arab Emirates, Qatar and Kuwait as well as Saudi Arabia. In Saudi Arabia there was a single female at […]
Video: South Georgia and the Falkland Islands
On October 29th I packed my bags for a trip of a lifetime to perhaps the most remote place I have ever been – South Georgia Island. Before this trip I had never been anywhere close to this far south. I had never been so far out at sea. And I had definitely never seen […]
Clay-colored Sparrow on Canal St, 12/8/2015

This species was until the last few years a scarce winter visitor to the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia, but more birds are now being seen making it an uncommon winter visitor […]

Hace unas semanas atrás el amigo Nicolás recorriendo caminos vecinales del Sur de nuestra provincia pudo observar desde el auto a una pareja de Tucanes que perchaban en el extremo de un árbol seco. El amigo tuvo el tiempo necesario como para detener el auto, bajarse del mismo para poder cruzar un cerco de alambre […]
