rLast few days winter has finally arived to Israel. A stormy weather with high winds and lots of rain hit Israel. For Birders, it is the perfect time to go to do some sea -shore observations - for all the sea birds that the wind make it much more possible to look at. In the different sea shores a lot of sea birds were seen- Brown booby, different skue's, Sabines gull - Those are just a few of the birds that were seen around.
