The recentweather with all these southern winds and clouds of dust havesettledand many migrants are evident all over.<\/p>\n
On Sat’ morning I took my young son, Raz who is only 2.5 years old to have a short drive and walk in the desert to see what can we find after the storm. A short walk it was, but very productive nevertheless. We started at Km 33 where we had the beautiful song of aHoopoe Larkand good views of bothAsian Desert Warblerand my first for this seasonBlack-eared Wheatear. In the sky, a flock of 250Eurasian Craneswere heading north giving their very diagnostic calls.Earlier in the morning, a friend was photographing nearby a group ofThick-billedandBar-tailed Larks.<\/p>\n
We than drove south and on our way spotted many Sylvia’s includingRuppell’s, Eastern Orpheanand the most commonSardinainandLesserWhitethroats.<\/p>\n
When we reach the K 20 ponds, Raz was very happy to point all the Flamingos and wasshowinghis first steps in identification when he asked “what are these Flamingos in the water which are not Flamingos”? aiming on a group ofShelducks…<\/p>\n
Later we also spotted male and femaleHooded WheatearsandbeautifulKentish Plovers.<\/p>\n

\n As we were driving to leave the ponds, I noticed a bush ofTaily WeedOchradenus baccatusfilled with Sylvia warblers. In this single bush, we had at least 3Cyprus Warblers(2 males and 1 female),Eastern Orphean, Lesser Whitethroatsand a second female typeHooded Wheatear.<\/p>\n \n \n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/focusingonwildlife.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/Hooded-Wheater_M_K20.jpg\" "\\"\\"")
