Beskrivning
Yeruham Park and Lake are located in the hills of the northern Negev. Yeruham Lake is in the middle of the park, a manmade reservoir created in the Nahal Revivim streambed. Against the desert background, the lake and the greenery provide the unique scenery of a desert oasis. With its combination of water, reedbeds and pine groves Lake Yeruham attracts waterfowl and plenty of migrating birds. Therefore the area is most interesting during the migration season. Among the birds you can encounter are ökenhöna, berghöna, Smådopping, svartbukig flyghöna, skatgök, småfläckig sumphöna, afrikansk purpurhöna, tjockfot, styltlöpare, brushane, dammsnäppa, dvärgrördrom, natthäger and Smyrnakungsfiskare.
