Arabian Wolf Tracks – Harrat Al Harrah (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Whilst birding the Harrat Al Harrah area in January 2021 I came across many signs of Arabian Wolf Canis lupus arabs although I did not see any living individuals. The rangers told me Arabian wolves are distributed throughout the reserve, with den sites, shelters and sign on all major jabals. They also said animals range widely, and the tracks I saw suggest this is the case as footprints were found in many different areas with soft substrates. The Arabian Wolf is a subspecies of Grey Wolf which l

Yellow-spotted Agama – Dhahran Hills (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Whilst birding the ‘patch’ last Saturday morning I came across a Yellow-spotted Agama Trapelus flavimaculatus sunning itself and displaying on a raised rock near the edge of the spray fields showing off its bright blue throat and belly & orange tail. They are a medium sized lizard about 30 centimetres in length and are also known as Blue-headed Agama for obvious reasons. Their tails are very long and thin and make up over half their body length and they move extremely fast over the ground. The Y
