<\/a><\/p>\nAlso there are many new birds which are evident and this time its the turn of the Caspian Ploversto win the best bird of the week prize, after I found 5 on Tue’ morning while guiding Dave Richardson (though we are still overwhelmed by the 15 Black Bush Robins which were seen up to now during this season).<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Many B&W ‘Ficedula’ Flycatchers throughout as well as many ‘feldegg’Yellow Wagtails,Rt Pipitsand the last Citrine Wagtailsand Little Bitterns…<\/p>\n Still some Wrynecks, Cretzschmar’s & Ortolan Buntings, nice aggregations of Purple Herons, first Temminck’s Sandpipers…<\/p>\n<\/p>\n reports from Neot Smadar of Baillon’s & Little Crakes. Pied & Hooded Wheatearsat K76 and today I found a Cyprus Pied Wheatearat the entrance to the Eilot North Palm grove.<\/p>\n Hopefully we will soon start getting the Levant’s and other good late migrants. Itai<\/p>\n And here are some notes from Markus at the IBRCE ringing station:<\/p>\n “Last two weeks at the ringing station have been quite varying with a little bit better numbers of ringings compared to earlier. Last saturday we had the best day so far with 398 birds caught. Unsurprisingly 238 of them were Blackcaps. Yesterday was the best Swallow roost catch so far with 167 birds including also one Common Kingfisherretrap from last year. Evening sessions have also produced altogether 17 Blue-cheeked Bee-eaters. I have to say that these are the most gorgeous birds I’ve ever seen anywhere. Absolutely epic!<\/p>\n Almost every day have been caught some “season’s firsts”, most recently a Barred Warbler today. Numbers of Common & Thrush Nightingales have increased and the first Collared Flycatchers have been caught. Wood &Willow Warblers, Rufous Bush Chats, Great Reed Warblers, Ortolan Buntings, Namaqua Dove, Corncrake…<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
