World and the Wild - Bird Watching and Wildlife Photography

 Last week while birding in some reeds near Halfmoon i witnessed five female Pied kingfisher. Although,iv seen them here past two years but this time the number increased. Its not a natural habitat for them but somehow they tend to live and enjoy here. I hope they survive and expand to the region.Its always exciting to see them and flying around. I was able to capture one with a fish and would like to share below Uptil now i  have noot seen any Male record in the Eastern region.

 While Birding today in Deffi Park ,Jubail i saw White throated kingfisher on a tree Branch.It was severaly overcast and low light early morning but i was able to document the shot. The good thing is the numbers are increasing for this kingfisher species with records from Khafra Marsh, Jubail and even in the city of Al Khobar recently.
