Descrizione

Eilat is a major junction on the bird's migration flyway and one of the most important stop over sites for migratory birds in the world. Eilat north beach, at the head of the Red Sea, offers the opportunity for observing a range of species rarely encountered elsewhere in the West Palearctic region, such as Sula fosca and Gabbiano occhibianchi. Various other seabirds such as Gabbiano roseo, Labbo, Stercorario mezzano, Berta maggiore, Berta grigia, Sterna guancebiache, Sterna zampenere and Mignattino piombato are regular but with strong southerly winds there is the possibility of rarer birds such as Streaked Shearwater, Red-billed Tropicbird or even Lesser Frigatebird being seen from shore. It is an excellent place to see rare tubenoses and terns, which penetrate north along the Red Sea from the Indian Ocean and beyond.

At the southern end of the beach where the Sewage Canal empties into the sea Airone schistaceo and a variety of waders including Corriere di Leschenault are regular. The canal is good for Martin pescatore di Smirne and Gruccione verde piccolo.
