February 2019<\/strong><\/p>\n

Israel is, that is well known, THE place for bird migration<\/strong> enthusiasts. Therefore
\nalone, a trip was on my bucket list for quite a long time. In addition I was also
\ncurious about the native mammals, reptiles and of course the landscape in general.
\nMy only real duty were flight call recordings of species which are difficult to get in
\nCentral Europe.<\/p>\n

All visited cities<\/strong> brought us beside cultural sights also finest hours of urban birding<\/strong>.
\nIn such densely populated cities it is of course not to think of wildlife sound recording.
\nIn fact, also many rather rural spots in the south of the country were very noisy.<\/p>\n

The Nature Reserve Ein Gedi<\/a> is a fantastic place to see many species in a bunch, but not
\na good place to record sound. The kibbutz, on the other hand, is wonderfully quiet!<\/p>\n

Proper research before the start of the journey, well chosen spontaneous decisions
\nbut above all, the support of local ornithologists<\/strong> led us to incredibly beautiful and
\nexciting hikes with many great observations and encounters with local wildlife.
\nAt this point huge thanks to Noam Weiss<\/a>!

Since we were a bit early for real mass migration<\/strong> events, there was plenty of time
\nto devote to the details<\/strong> of just a few species \u2013 definitely the approach to ‘nature’
\nwhich I prefer. In that sense, I also spent more time with the unstressful listening
\nthan the mass-production of sound recordings. Some recordists have done a pretty
\ngood job in the past, so that there was no urgency anyway.<\/p>\nhttp:\/\/www.singwarte.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/PFR15324_1-10_190223_BIO_sinrosfin-1-F-SC-1-M-FC-SC_isr_amrams-pillars-nr_MP6_REF-S_A-B.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n
