This website features Israel's latest birding news, including trip reports, rarity alerts and monthly summaries. We offer you our guiding services and information about birdwatching in Israel. Birders who visited Israel are encouraged to submit their sightings and photos here. We shall willingly feature on the website full reports accompanied by photographs taken during the trip.
