Bird trip to Israel (April 2013)

I flew to Tel Aviv on April 6 for a 2-week birding vacation in search of Middle-East specialities. My trip included a short visit to some historical sites in the Old City of Jerusalem. The birding vacation started with a visit to Lahav Nature Reserve (south of Jerusalem) followed by the Negev Desert and the plains around Nizzana and Ezuz. The trip then continued further south until Eilat where some popular birding sites were visited during 4-5 days. The returning journey to Tel Aviv was carried out along the Jordan border with several stops in the Dead Sea area (Ein Gedi, Og Reservoir). This gallery has 92 images depicting 20 bird species.
