AVITOPIA - Birds of Israel

Israel is located at a crucial section of the migration route between Africa and Europe as well as West Asia. About 500 million birds pass through Israel during the migration seasons in spring and autumn, generating one of the highest bird traffic concentrations in the world. Furthermore, Israel has more than 180 nature reserves, where more than 200 bird species nest. One of the most attractive places for birdwatchers is Eilat. Due to its location on the Red Sea, some unusual water birds can be observed here. One of the most popular nature reserves is Ein Gedi, a water-rich oasis in the Negev desert. It is located just 37 km south of Jerusalem. The Mount Hermon in the far north of Israel reaches alpine heights; in this mountain range is also the nature reserve Hermon with its very special bird life.This multilingual (en, de, fr, es, ja, cn) bird guide introduces the entire bird life of Israel in colored pictures. As a bonus, links to HD videos of more than 145 bird species and to audios of more than 80 species are included.
