Hi Danny,

Good to hear from Israel...about time too!

Interesting news re the ringing. Please keep us all informed about the
migration, raptors, storks, pelicans, etc, along with any news you have from other parts of northern Israel.

Well Done Danny,
as John says keep us informed.

Well done to that Reed Warbler too, I had no idea they could be that long lived.
