Back up to Rawdat Nourah for Arabian Lark, heading straight to the last sighting of this invisible species from the end of February this year. Another 5 hours of driving around continuously grilling every Bar-tailed Lark resulted in the ‘same old same old’ and feeling disgruntled and thinking I’m in the wrong job!

| Blue-cheeked Bee-eaters were on the move heading north... |
 |
| Chestnut-bellied Sandgrouse |
 |
| Greater Hoopoe Larks are very, very common |
 |
| Little Swift is a rare sighting in the deserts of Riyadh |
We did get more Willow Warblers passing through the desert, followed by a Menetries’s Warbler and 2 Rufous-tailed Scrub-Robins, as well as a fine Montagu’s Harrier as well. So by lunchtime we headed back to the hotel in Riyadh, packed up after a bit of a rest and took our early evening flight to Al Baha excited about the prospective birding to follow.
