The Friday walk was quite at Wej Valley near Taif, Saudi Arabia. The weather was quite cloudy and much quieter than normal for bird life. That said we came across a large group of camels and their herder. For some reason every time we have seen camels at the river, there is always little egrets with them. This week we discovered how close the two get as you can see from the pictures. We also seen some of the regular visitors to the river and a few that I've not seen before.
