Whilst birding the Wadi Thee Gazelle area of Taif we came across a good number of Arabian Endemic Species, seeing eight out of the twelve species. The high rainfall in the mountains in spring 2016 appears to have produced a good breeding season for many species and adults with juveniles of Arabian Wheatear and Arabian Waxbill were seen.<\/p>\n

Very large numbers of Arabian Serins were seen in many areas and Yemen Thrush also appeared to be quite numerous.<\/p>\n

Other good birds were also seen in this excellent birding location and I managed to photograph a few Cinnamon-breasted Buntings as well as a Eurasian Hoopoe.<\/p>\n
