Spring has not sprung yet

Spring has not sprung yet



At least here in Norfolk. Enjoyed the relatively nice weather today walking in Winterton Dunes. However I did not enjoy the birding too much, especially while getting all the spring reports coming in from Israel to my phone.

I was obviously over-optimistic hoping to find a first wheatear or martin, but had practically nothing. Too many people and too few birds.

Even common birds were few. I was so desperate I even photographed this cracking male Mallard:

Spring has not sprung yet

 Eventually found myself photographing the most beautiful dog in the whole world:

Bamba

On the way back home dipped on the Green-winged Teal at Cantley. Great day.

I have been birding since the age of 9, and from the age of 15 I started working professionally in birding. I have been working for the Israeli Ornithological Center since 1998. I was a member of the Israeli rarities committee between 2001 - 2007. I have an MSc in Ecology from the Ben Gurion University. I did my research on the ecology of Nubian Nightjars in Israel, and spent hundreds of nights with these fascinating birds. I lead tours in Israel, and especially focus on Nubian Nightjars obviously. I traveled and birded Asia extensively, and also Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Africa and North America. I am married to my lovely wife Adva and father to two sons - Uri and Noam, and one daughter - Libby. Currently I live in Norwich, where I am starting a PhD project at UEA.
