Western Negev in November - Highlights
All digiscoping photography courtesy of James. P. Smith ©

During the 14th-15th November we had a successful trip to the Western Negev. Many of our target species were found including Lanner, Sociable Plover and Finsch's Wheatear. More unexpected were wonderful daylight views of Long-eared and Barn Owls, and a flock of 17 Dotteral, found at Revivim on the last afternoon of the trip.

Here are some of the 'digi-scoped' highlights with a more detailed written account to follow soon.

Happy Birding,

James Smith
