Petra





What a place to visit, it was fantastic. We were lucky to be on a trip with just us two so we had a driver and a guide to ourselves. Crossing the border from Israel to Jordan was an experience in itself ! An excellent day and a wonderful place to visit x

Wood Sandpiper




Willow Warbler




These were absolutely everywhere!

Wryneck





Tristrams Grackle


Fabulous birds with an unmistakable call

Eilat





Sub-Alpine Warbler



Petra






Hoopoe






A cornish man.....

Didn't get his name but he was so helpful. Full of local knowledge and a brilliant birder - thank you x

Steppe Buzzards


20,000 a day passed over the mountains at Eilat. A spectacular sight ! Also the occasional black kite, vulture and eagle drifted along too.
