The Egyptian Nightjar Caprimulgus aegyptius numbers at Jubail are building with 13 birds seen on 30 June. This is a very high number for this time of year although less than the highest ever count of fifteen seen in August and Setember.<\/p>\n

The species is an uncommon bird in Arabia although since 2006 birds have been located in the Eastern province of Saudi Arabia near Jubail, every year in August.<\/p>\n

This year Phil Roberts and I found a bird sitting on the main track under a bush on 16 June the earliest summer record for Jubail. Below are photographs of seven different birds.<\/p>\n
