Description

The Eilat Cemetery is well-known as a good site to watch raptor migration and a wide range of species can be seen at almost eye-level from the hill beyond the cemetery. Other species to be see here include Pale Crag Martin, сиво гушанче, Striolated Bunting and White-crowned Wheatear, Песочна еребица, Blackstart and Trumpeter Finch. Passerine migrants are often attracted to the bushes here, with the highest numbers during spring migration in March and April.
