Went Birding a few days ago to the Agmon which is the flooded area of the hula with a group of 4 birders from the states. Thousands of common cranes all around - what a great site. In addition lots of waders, ducks- mostly shovelers, teals and malards, a few raptor species like Hen harrier, common buzzard and hundreds of black kites.
The winter is Begining here in Israel, now its the time to visit the wonderfull Hula Valley area.
