After 10 days of guiding in Tanzania, I'm back and already managed to go out and enjoy out with the Eilat-Eilot Bird Club.

The Kurdish Wheatear is still present and reports of Syrian Serins, Cyprus & Ruppell's Warblers are coming in. Many Steppe Eagles are crossing daily and 2 species of Scops Owls are present.

Soon the Rock Thrush (this photographed in Tanzania 15 days ago) will appear.

The Basalt Wheatear is still present and while many birders came to search for it and enjoy the many Asian Desert & Spectacled Warblers also, another great find was added!
It's been very long since a Kurdish Wheatear was seen around the Southern Arava...
