105, the Steppe eagle that has been lingering in western Saudi Arabia, continues to linger. It has spent the last 10 days in a limited area around the town of Wadi Ibn Hashbal. As is highlighted by the increased sightings of scavenging birds using rubbish dumps in the region, so too is this bird spending most of its time at the local rubbish dump (Maps below). Does anyone know this place? Are other eagles or vultures using it in large numbers? Leave a comment.

In recent days the Steppe eagle (162312) that is actively migrating has been making its way through Iran. Currently it is about 1/2 way between Qom and Esfahan (See map below)
