Israeli birder in Norfolk - Yoav Perlman's blog: Slow on the ground, massive on the screen
http://nubijar.blogspot.com/2015/05/slow-on-ground-massive-on-screen.html
Israeli birder in Norfolk - Yoav Perlman's blog. Saturday, May 16, 2015. Slow on the ground, massive on the screen. Still several hundred Brents on the saltmarsh:. Then we headed over to Mannington Hall. I really enjoyed the Fair. very well organized, the grounds are beautiful, and lots of people came which is good. Good to meet some Rutland Birdfair regulars, including the Wader Quest team. There were reports of Lesser Spotted Woodpecker and Firecrest near the lecture marquee but I didn'...In this blog ...

Israeli birder in Norfolk - Yoav Perlman's blog: December 2014
http://nubijar.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Israeli birder in Norfolk - Yoav Perlman's blog. Tuesday, December 30, 2014. Met up very early this morning with Graham, James and Nick and drove to West Yorkshire for a double-twitch. What I expected to be an easy day turned out to be rather challenging. We arrived at Calder Trading Estate 5 minutes after a sparrowhawk had spooked the Blyth's Pipit and it flew far north and was lost in the distance. Sounded very bad. We searched for the bird in neighbouring fields for a while but nothing. Then it was th...

Israeli birder in Norfolk - Yoav Perlman's blog: T is for twitch, K is for kill
http://nubijar.blogspot.com/2015/07/t-is-for-twitch-k-is-for-kill.html
Israeli birder in Norfolk - Yoav Perlman's blog. Sunday, July 19, 2015. T is for twitch, K is for kill. This image was taken with my phone through Swarovski ATX95, handheld:. There were about 80 Black-tailed Godwits:. Terrible flight shot into the sun. View from Meon Shore hide - the yellowlegs is sat on the nearest island:. And a Bearded Tit was was in the nearest reed clump on the right. Only this juv got closer:. But the gull was obviously much more powerful and the battle was over very quickly:.

Israeli birder in Norfolk - Yoav Perlman's blog: April 2015
http://nubijar.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Israeli birder in Norfolk - Yoav Perlman's blog. Monday, April 27, 2015. Almost perfect Scilly twitch. Then we headed into Penzance for breakfast. 12 Purple Sandpipers were still present by the swimming pool:. Purple Sandpiper and Turnstone. Quite a few seabirds were seen along the passage until we sailed past Land's End: several good rafts of Manx Shearwater, quite many auks (Guillemots, Puffins and Razorbills), and one Fulmar. Forgot how massive they are compared to Grey Herons. After we were satisfied...

Israeli birder in Norfolk - Yoav Perlman's blog: August 2015
http://nubijar.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html
Israeli birder in Norfolk - Yoav Perlman's blog. Monday, August 24, 2015. Describing the horrendous slaughter of birds in the region - at least 25 million birds annually! This year we focused our efforts to promote the Champions of the Flyway birdrace, that is part of BirdLife's campaign to stop the killing. This is one of the most impressive events of the fair - the famous mural depicting the beauty of the Mediterranean region and its birds, that are threatened by hunting. Many artists work on this ...

Israeli birder in Norfolk - Yoav Perlman's blog. Wednesday, July 22, 2015. And meanwhile in Israel. Quite far away ahead of all the rest. But reality slapped me in the face pretty hard. Since I left it seems like mega-heavens have opened up on the Land of Israel, and mega-manna is falling out of the sky on Israel almost weekly. Like all these birds had spent years waiting around the corner, waiting for my departure. I am still on the IRDC so I will do my best to reject this record ;-). In June a stunning...

http://nubijar.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Israeli birder in Norfolk - Yoav Perlman's blog. Tuesday, March 31, 2015. Spent most of today working in a couple of sites in Castro Verde in S Alentejo. A beautiful landscape, high-quality steppes, vast pastures, few fences, and lots of bustards. Also high numbers of Black-bellied Sandgrouse. We also had two 2cy Spanish Imperial Eagles, some Booted Eagles, Tawny pipits, Short-toed larks etc. A few mobile groups of babbler-like Azure-winged Magpies added colour to the day:. Sunday, March 29, 2015. These ...

Israeli birder in Norfolk - Yoav Perlman's blog. Monday, September 29, 2014. Wow, this was a long break. But today I finally managed to get myself out of Norwich, courtesy of Jake and Drew. We left early and headed first to Sheringham for a couple of hours of seawatching. * Lesson 1 in UK birding - if the weather is good (like it was today), lower your expectations.*. Red-throated Diver and Shag. Lesson number 2: always carry a good rifle when birding to shoot down dog walkers.*. Anyway, the move was qui...
