- I love photographing birds in flight. The challenge is great, and when I succeed - I am very satisfied. This Rufous-tailed Scrub-Robin flew straight at me while singing, this morning not far from home. What a stunner. Sound recording here: macaulaylibrary.org/asset/573861831 חמריה חלודת-זנב
- Photos like this from Lebanon make me so depressed. We humans have really fucked it up, haven't we?
- Mega: Perhaps the most bizzare record of the year, a young Rueppell's Vulture landed last night in a staircase of a 50th floor in Tel Aviv, taken into care this morning. 2nd record for Israel if accepted
- Migration magic. European Bee-eaters finding some rest in the Negev desert. Fly safe you beauties.
- MEGA MEGA: CHESTNUT BUNTING ringed at IBRCE Eilat by Noam Weiss!!!! First for Israel!! Photo by @Itai_Shanni @BirdLifeIsrael @SPNI @TarsigerTeam @BirdGuides @RareBirdAlertUK @dutchbirding @westpalbirds
- Breaking news: Following professional work & pressure by @BirdLifeIsrael @SPNI , today our Minister of Environment @Gilagamliel signed a one-year bill to stop Turtle Dove & Quail hunting! First step towards full ban on recreational hunting in #Israel
- Arabian Warbler - one of the best birds in Israel, IMO. Taken this morning
- The leucistic Eurasian Jackdaw at Tsora is a stunning bird. It is leucistic and not albino bc legs and bill are black. It is having a hard time with its black relatives, continuously being harassed.
- Boom! Greater Painted-Snipe found just now by Yotam Lenard at Yakum Wetland. First since 2014
- MEGA: Black-faced Bunting ringed this morning by Francis Argyle at Heffer Valley Ringing Station. First for Israel. Photo by Francis Argyle
- Mega alert! Three-banded Plover, first for Israel, found just now by Shachar Alterman at Maayan Tzvi. Photo by Shachar. Amazing
- Thank you Mr. White-throated Bee-eater for doing the decent thing and waiting for me
