World and the Wild - Bird Watching and Wildlife Photography

 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.

 While birding today at the Halfmoon reeds where they are very few waders and one northern lapwing ,i spotted a White throated Kingfisher sitting on the pole. Upon approaching close the bird went inside the reeds in distance so the shots were not very clear. It was overcast since morning and the light was very poor but still managed to get good photos for the record. This bird tends to be a vagrant in the region and most probably first record from the city of Al Khober.
