Some of Israel's commoner birds are quite fantastic. I have a personal preference for the male Spanish Sparrow he's probably my favourite spadge.
Little Green Bee Eater's are awesome - this chap posed in the fading light - one of my favourite shots from the trip.
Some early breeding Bulbuls had raised this rancid little character!
Resident Great Spotted Eagle overhead high but distinctive. A few pairs breed around the outskirts of the town.
An evening Western Reef Egret on the beach market a great Western Pal tick for me.
A Green Sandpiper zipped past - more wader migration going down than you could shake a stick at.
Crested Lark
And final birding of the week - a male and female Little Crake right at dusk (apologies for the quality but it was pretty dark and no tripod!). This cost me a few mosquito bites as I hunkered down surrounded by Sedge and Savi's Warblers in the sewage ponds.
