Woodchat Shrike and Yellow-throated Sparrow have bred at #Tulha, while Pale Rockfinch has bred along the wadis in the reserve.
During migration, Tulha, which is inside Sabah Al Ahmad Natural Reserve, which has two pools and trees becomes a stopover place for migrating passerines and raptors. During the autumn heat, many eagles and buzzards drop from the sky to quench their thirst from the pools, and then continue their migration.
