Rate birdingplace Qaa Er Rim - Sannine Mountains
Description
The area is an IBA (important bird area) as defined by Birdlife International. Birdlife International and the SPNL (Society for the Protection of Nature in Lebanon, see website) have worked to describe the importance of this site for breeding and migrating bird species in the "State of Lebanon's Birds and IBAs", printed in 2014 by Dar Bilal for printing and publishing.
This site is relevant for soaring bird migration observation as well as for field data collection on specialist breeding species restricted to mediterranean biomes. Birds that breed in the area include Traquet oreillard, Fauvette mélanocéphale, Fauvette à lunettes, Bruant cendrillard, Bruant mélanocéphale and Sittelle de Neumayer.
Lebanon's highlands and countryside are typically under-prospected areas and wildlife conservation would benefit from a more important observation pressure and more data collection.

Accès
The site is located northwest of the town of Zahle. Access is possible via unpaved roads from the towns of Hazerta or Qaa er Rim with SUV or 4WD vehicles. Hiking with a local guide or even better with a birding tour guide is recommended.
Sometimes in parts of Lebanon, equipment such as binoculars and spotting scopes can be suspicious to locals if the user is not part of a scientific research program or a known wildlife conservation NGO. When in doubt, seek permission from local authorities.
