Whoops! I thought I had a Great Snipe but it was re-identified this morning by Barak Granit as a mega rare Pintail Snipe. Sometimes it feels really good to be wrong.
A big find for me yesterday around the Nir Oz sewage pools. Pintail Snipe!
Other stuff around - Besor had a movement of Great White Egrets (four or five)
and a flock of Spoonbills (seven in total)
and a couple of Ferruginous Duck.
Only one Spotted Crake around but still a few Water Rail.
This is mainly a record of some of the birds I've seen. Many of the images are, at best, record shots.
