Desert Wheatear passing by - Khafra/Tufaih Marsh , Jubail - Saudi Arabia

-

 This weekend on my usual spot for birding near Abu Hadriyah i:e Khafra Marsh, I saw Desert Wheatears.
They are common winter migrants to  Eastern Saudi Arabia. Mostly found in Semi-arid deserts and scrubs.

My all-over experience with this bird is good, taking a closeup and mostly the bird is not very shy and will allow pretty good shots.
Desert Wheatear sometimes breeds in very barren and infertile desert areas, where no other wheatear species occurs.
