Ha'ir, Saudi Arabia

Today I did the same trip as yesterday with the hope of a few different birds.

The raptor roost at the KATSC Fish Project today held 98 black kite, another Saudi record count and a blackstart put in an appearance at Ha'ir rubbish tip.

Ha'ir pivot fields were much the same except a juvenile imperial eagle soared overhead. And for the first time since I arrived here in December I failed to add any new birds to by Saudi list, but I did get some nice photos especially of an obliging bluethroat.
