    Hi there. I live in Israel and as usual masses of birds migrate from Europe before flying on to Africa. Saw these today near the fish ponds of Maayan Tzvi north of Tel Aviv. They were near a lot of other types and the fish ponds are near the sea but I have never seen them before. Thanks if...

    Need Information what to buy for discoping

    I have the Canon SD500/Ixus700 and I read that Leica has a new adaptor which looks to me in the photo of it that it will hold other cameras beside leica as it is a clamp type affaire. My ixus has no filter threads. My grandson is coming from Australia and I would like him to bring me what I need...

    Many Black Kites in Tel Aviv

    Got a real surprise. Went to Safari Park to see all the new spring babies but outside where one drives through and sees zebras, hypos etc and lots of migrating birds like Glossy Ibis, Egrets, Flamingos etc I saw about 50 or more Black Kites. They are wild and have probably stopped for a while on...

    Safari Park in Ramat Gan near Tel Aviv

    Just thought I would mention this park in this forum as I wasn't sure where to insert this observation. I joined the Safari Park as a member as my husband isn't too well and one can drive through half of it and use an electric chair for the other half. After chasing birds all over kibbutzim, one...

    Please ID this bird

    I would be grateful if someone would identify this bird as I haven't seen it before in Tel Aviv. Could be a common visitor but not for me. We had a huge three day storm which could have brought it to our river. To be seen and thanks in advance. Fredy Ross...

    One different seagull amongst many

    Came across a lot of seagulls near the sea in Tel Aviv and only one had a black face. http://albums.photo.epson.com/j/ViewPhoto?u=1717288&a=30967519&p=65964719&f=0 Is it still the same family or another type which got lost in a recent storm. Every year the storm drives them onto the river but...

    Bird Migration in Israel

    Yesterday we viewed the bird migration to the fish ponds in Maagen Michael just south of Haifa. Flocks of pelicans overhead but I am not sure of some of them. No. 9 of these photos are black birds and I would be pleased if someone could tell me what they are. Wonderous site and happy we didn't...

    Is this a Bulbil?

    I tried to thank others for the last identification so hopefully this will be okay as I still can't see my reply which I inserted earlier. Perhaps I am doing it wrong. http://albums.photo.epson.com/j/ViewPhoto?u=1717288&a=13198551&p=65662236&f=0 I hope I am doing this one properly and thank in...

    G3 and Eagleeye

    Hi there. I have the Canon pro 90IS, the canon G3, the eagleeye 5x zoom and want to photograph birds. I have the eagleeye because I had the kodak DC290. Too much vignetting with the pro so I have given up on that, but still hope for the G3 but don't know whether to get the lensmate 52mm or...
