Bird watching

Hi there. Any birdwarchers around Riyadh interested in pairing up to go spotting from time to time?

yes
but not in this time
its will be after 20/10/2013

Cool. Maybe we can keep in touch and link up then.

You will find quite a few birds round Exit 5 (back streets), off the Nursery oppos Hyper Panda. Also Dip Quarter.

you will see just search fine

Yep I have been surprisd at how many there are.

People didn't believe me when I use to tell them that you can find Pink Flamingo, Merops, yellow wagtail and parakeet among many others here in Jeddah....The only birds they knew were Angry Birds :D

Where and when can one find Pink Flamengos in Jeddah?

You can find them in South Cornich, passing King Faisal Naval Base and taking the first right after the checkpoint (the one before the industrial city).

You use to see them only when they are in their migration way from and to Africa so Oct-Nov and Feb-Mar, but now you can see two groups of them all year around here in Jeddah.

Usually the ones with clear pink color are the ones that in their way back from Africa after eating all the chirp that they can find..

I had found this link talking shortly about it

There are at least 3 serious bird watchers in the Riyadh area and a handful elsewhere in the Kingdom, plus a number of photographers.  At least one of us goes out most weekends.  You are welcome to join us.   

People interested in bird watching in the Kingdom may want to check out two blogs:  Birding for a Lark and Birds of Saudi Arabia.
