    More stuff. 1s male Pied Flicker. Flamingoes amaze me despite the strong winds these things would launch themselves skywards and use the necks and heads to maintain in-flight balance. Come on you Reds. Despite undesirable introduced status I rather liked the House Crows. Stonker of a male...

    Stuff. A rarity rainbow, CHB, both Orphean and Eastern Olly made up as many as Lesser 'throats some days.

    Apologies for the delay in posting whilst still in Eilat but I had mislaid my notebook and had to write stuff on bits of paper which I have now transferred to my field book now that my suitcase has arrived to unpack - it went on a 48-hour walkabout courtesy of Brussels Airlines but the good news...

    A large female Steppe Buzzard 'vulpinus' was a nice surprise in the nets.

    First Wryneck of the week, doing its 'snake' thing. Fisher King. The IBRCE team that particular day included 2 employees, 3 intern ringers and Adam (centre) who has wangled his National Service on placement with the SPNI - not for him mixing it with the stone throwers in the West Bank...

    A car got caught out and rolled 20km N of Eilat last night - brother and sister drowned and a friend found clinging to the vehicle..... A coupla birders went N for the Yellow-billed Stork and came back to find a road at the Dead Sea blocked by a huge boulder. They had to detour whilst the IDF...

    A summary of the last 4 days Sat 8th - Tue 11th April. 3 days of temperatures between 30-35c absolutely knackered me so it was game over and beer o’clock anytime between 1 and 2 pm. By then I have put in about 8 hours including cycling which is far more than I generally put in back at home in a...

    It's done it again, so annoying, can't be that difficult to sort? The powers that be are soon on your case if you post something that might be a tad non PC - ah well, their game their rules......

    Stufff. 1. Beeters. 2. Legs n Co. 3. Viper - this one is deadly with a trip to the hospital within 2 hours for antivenin. It lies in wait for migrant birds by a drinking pool. 4. The Beast from the East.

    Eilat.....

    Stuff. 1. It's that man again - the Scarlet Pimpernel of Eilat. 2. Beeters. 3. The ongoing brutal treatment of the landscape. Concrete to assist water to the sea when it should really be diverted to settle and drain away slower and disperse the valuable desert Swedbank. 4. Giving more food for...

    Mooched around the reserve from 7-1 and left as not only was it hot but it was an open day with face-painting, balloons etc most of it conservation related but I didn’t want to get too broody so left for a beer. With a week to go tomorrow I am getting into wind-down mode and will only be...

    It is sooo annoying to post photos with text and have them appear in the wrong order - any ideas?

    I think it must be introduced Indian. They are super cute and according to Schachar do not compete or cause problems - that's gotta be a 1st for Israel of sorts ;)

    Eilat.....

    Me too but strangely it had put on weight and been caught in the top part of the net. Unsurprisingly it wasn't there this morning. I always wonder if/what the effect of being handled etc has on an individual. I get it that it is for the 'greater good' but the birds as individuals are obviously...
