Long time no see. So busy. Just returned from an unexpected trip to Israel with some birdwatching while visiting different historical sites. Israel is a very important migratory corridor between Eastern Europe/Near East and Africa. National bird list over 510 species I think it is safe to go at least at this moment. Direct flights available from Hong Kong to Tel Aviv. Highly recommended. Details please visit http://www.parks.org.il/BuildaGa ... tree.php?mc=378~All

Thanks Mike. Yes, more photo.
Hula reserve is the wintering ground of over 20,000 common cranes with more than 30,000 on passage.
We also met some animals including jungle cat, golden jackal and the introduced coypu.
