Whilst at Jubail this winter I have seen good numbers of Greater Flamingo with numbers exceeding two-thousand birds. Occasionally the birds were close to the shore, whch is unusual at this location, allowing good views.<\/p>\n

I spent quite some time looking to see if I could locate any birds with plastic Darvic rings on them as they have been seen in previous years but without luck. A bird with a large white plastic ring, originally ringed in Turkey also spent one winter in the Al Khobar area recently.<\/p>\n

The Greater Flamingos included both adults in bright pink plumage and juveniles in their more drab greyish pink plumage. The species is a common winter visitor to the entire length of the Arabian Gulf in the Eastern Province.<\/p>\n
