The first glimpse

One of lifes special moments that brings tears....................it was wonderful

Petra






Spanish Sparrows




Wryneck






Western Reef Herons




Arabian Babblers



How well they blend in, almost disappearing against the ground

Petra

Steps to heaven.....



A visit to Petra was a must whilst we were in Israel, even though it cost an absolute fortune to cross the border to Jordan. Petra was simply stunning, a fabulous day and another 'wonder' seen. I have plenty of photos to show you !

Red Throated Pipit






Black Winged Stilt





Wryneck





This wryneck was in the 'Birdwatchers' park all week, often seen from out hotel window. It had to run the gauntlet with the local feral cats each day !
