Abstract

24 Bald Ibises (Geronticus eremita) in four groups were recorded during 1991 in an area of only approx. 8 km2, close to Taif in southwestern Saudi Arabia. These observations lead to the conclusion that the eastern population of the Bald Ibis is not yet extinct, as was believed up to now, and that colonies do still exist, either in Asia Minor or in southwestern Arabia. All records from Arabia are presented and the status of the eastern Bald Ibis is discussed.
