Beskrivning

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. The dramatic outline of the Rift Valley, and the variety of natural and man-made habitats serves as a corridor for millions of migrant birds and home for some 400 species which includes near-eastern specialties and extreme desert species like ökenhöna, bergsparv, härfågellärka, Desert Lark and kronflyghöna. And full array of amazing migrants.

One of the points to visit for birding around Eilat is the Eilat Birding Center. The park (free entrance) includes a number of paths flanked by “hides” that enable visitors to observe the birds without disturbing them and which, like the park itself, are open to the general public every day of the year. Among the birds that can be seen around the Eilat Birding Center are rosenstare, svarthuvad sparv, större flamingo, Lichtenstein's Sandgrouse, mindre sumphöna, styltlöpare, dammsnäppa, sandtärna, skräntärna, svart stork, dvärgrördrom, Blackstart, Smyrnakungsfiskare, pungmes, kaveldunsångare, rödstrupig piplärka and many species of ducks, herons, plovers, waders, flycatchers and birds of prey.

Extra information

Israel’s Arava region is an important bird migration route between Europe and Africa, and it is estimated that between five hundred million and one billion birds traverse its skies during the migration seasons. En route many of them stop over in Eilat. In the autumn, on their way to Africa, the birds pause to rest and regain their strength before crossing the deserts that lie before them; and in spring, on their journey to Europe, they stop to recuperate after their desert odyssey.
