With great pleasure, I can say that our own team member, Avi Meir, as won the prestige 3rd place in an animal portrait category at the #1 NaturePhotographer competition which was recently held at the Eretz-Israel Museum, Tel-Aviv.
We know Avi’s work and admire it for long time and we are happy that he is also being acknowledged now for his great work on a national scale.
There are still some birds passing through with few hundred White winged Terns as well as few tens of Gull-billed Terns today at K20 and few Ruff, Ringed Plovers and Little Stints (but unlike Avi, these photos were taken using the IPhone…)
