It has been a while since i last posted....need todo it more often.
In any case, winter is evident and this is the time to bird in northern israel, especially the Hula valley area and Beit shean valley. Have been birding in those sites quite  a  lot recently. 
Many birds are out there , woth mentioning the rare ones: Demoiselle crane and Barnacle Goose which were spoted in the hula area.
A rare visitor, wallcreeper,  was seen in southern israel in Ein ovdat vadi- what a great bird to see.....
​Go out birding, but dont forget to wear warm clothes.

Sociable Lapwing- my best wintering bird

10/12/2017

As i was trying to decide which bird described winter for me, i had chozen the elegant and beautiful Sociable Lapwing which can be seen now at the western Negev. 
​That Plover species consider to be rare in Israel, yet permanent and can be seen almost each year during winter, mainly in the western Negev (but not only).
Similar to other Lapwings- it has 3 colours while flying and is very elegant.
Its population had decline dramatically during the last decade, estimation of only 11,000 birds remain.

Bird of the Month (November 2017)

21/11/2017

Red Wattled Lapwing
Bird of the month is without a doubt the Red Wattled Lapwing. A very rare bird that was last seen in Israel on 2001.
The red wattled lapwing is actually a relative of the most known israeli bird- the Spur-winged lapwing. Her structure, and general coortion as Spur winged Lapwing, but somewhat larger.
Her English name comes from her exposed skin on her face. As do others Lapwings, she generally walk around in fields and near wetlands trying to find food.
It breeds across southern Asia and accidental can be seen outside her breeding area in the Middle East.
An excellent bird to see and record.
