Had another 2 great days up north with an avid and friendly birder. We saw quite a lot of birds- the Northern part of israel is now full with birds. Unfortunately we didnt see the Lammergeier (maybe next time....).
After beeing up north for a couple of days we went to the Negev to see some of the unique desert birds such as the crowned sandgrouses and some raptors in the western negev- we manage to see a couple of peregrine falcons and some imperiel eagles.
All in all a very good 3 days birding.
Attached is a list of birds that have been seen during the 3 day tour.

Went for a 1 day tour up north with an avid Birder, comes originally from Germany.
We had an excellent day:  birding with perfect weather, and also tasting wines at vinyards in the Golan heights.
The birds worth mentioning, as i see it, were a couple of Black Vultures at Gamla nature reserve.

Went to do some birding with an enthusiastic birder from the US.
Eilat and the Arava valley are great spots on those dates as spring migration is at its peak. We did see a lot of birds, though regertfully we didnt see any rare birds. Still we enjoyed much a couple of days birding around.
Attached below is a bird list of what we have seen during our tour.
