Paul French from his on-going tour of Israel

We've started well, with displaying McQueen’s Bustards and up to 18 Cream-colored Coursers in the Negev Desert, plus a flock of Crowned Sandgrouse that showed very well for everyone. Migration is a bit thin so far, but we have found Collared and Semi-collared Flycatchers, Oriental Skylark and Bimaculated Lark, along with views of a Wolf at a vulture feeding station. We have one full day left around Eilat, then we’re moving north to the Dead Sea and Hula Valley, and a totally different mix of species.
