The long established roost at Saar has this season developed into a secondary site although birds still use it in much smaller numbers than previous seasons. A large high walled garden about a 1 km to the south seems now to be the favoured evening roost for birds in the northern part of Bahrain. So far, other than watching the birds drop in from beyond the wall, no observation on numbers or the nature of the roost has been possible.

Birds also continue to be also observed in the morning at the BDF wadi (see map below) from 6.30 am with a few hanging around at this location throughout the day.
