Phil Roberts has written an excellent personal account of the finding of 18 Sociable Lapwings in Haradh in February 2016.
The account is on the Birdlife website The Amazing Journey under this link http://www.birdlife.org/sociable-lapwing/2016/03/three-on-the-move-and-news-from-saudi-arabia/
This excellent website also shows where some of the Sociable Lapwings cross Saudi Arabia on route to and from their breeding grounds with one bird currently present in the Jizan area.
