Wczoraj wyladowalo ponad 40,000!!! bocianow w okolicy Beit Szean. Dzis juz sa
w Synaju...
W ciagu tego miesiaca przelatuje tutaj okolo 600,000.
Nie mysle czy ktos w swoim zyciu widzial w powietrzu kilkadziesiat tysiecy od
razu, prawie nie widac slonca.
Tym razem przylecieli troche wczesniej, czy oni wiedza cos co my (ludzie) nie
wiemy...

Nieraz jestem na forum "aktualnosc" i nazywam sie Mosze.

[blotniak32]

Jaja sobie robisz...? A jak nauczyłeś sie pisac po polsku?

[mosze_zblisko_daleka]

Czesc, Ja wyjechalem z Polski w 1957r. Wiec troche pamietam jeszcze...
Wiesz gdzie znajduje sie Beit Szean?

[abstrakt2003]

Mosze a może znasz jakąś stronę ze zdjęciami tych bocianów w Izraelu?

No błotniak trochę żeś przesadził!

[abstrakt2003]

Jeszcze chwila i obraisz kogoś na tym sympatycznych forum!

[blotniak32]

Cześć
Od razu sprostowanie...nie miałem zamiaru nikogo obrażać i mam nadzieje ,że
nie obraziłem.Jeżeli tak to przepraszam.Po prostu zapytałem,skąd Mosze znalazł
się na bliskim wschodzie i jak to się stało ,że mówi po polsku.Jestem
dociekliwy,i wszystkich pytam skąd pochodzą ,a szczegulnie takich ,co
zamieszczają zdięcia ,lub piszą o ptakach poza granicami Polski.Nie chodzi mi
tutaj o jakieś antypatie ,czy przekonania religijne...Po prostu nie przyszło mi
do głowy ,że na forum internetowym o ptakach zagościł pan w średnim
wieku ,który kiedyś mieszkał w Polsce... Nieznam wielu ludzi ,którzy mając
około tylu lat co on wogule potrafią posługiwać się komputerem.Stąd moje
niedowierzanie....
Pozdrowienia dla Mosze i wszystkich
Tomek

[abstrakt2003]

Ależ nie obraziłeś (wyraźnie to napisałem) tylko forma postu sugerowała taką
możliwość w następnej wypowiedzi.
Pozdo!

DDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
błotniak ale tałeś plamę!!!
Mosze w nie jednej wojnie z Arabami wojował!

Witaj Mosze!

[abstrakt2003]

Trzrba by się kiedyś pofatygować do Izraela by zobaczyć taki widok!

[mosze_zblisko_daleka]

Czesc,
Wlasnie z calego swiata przychodza tutaj jest specjane miejsce niedaleko Eilatu.
W czasie "wedrowki" ptakow mozna widac setki tysiace!!!, w ciagu jednego dnia
kiedy przelatuja w kierunku Afryki. Tak samo jest na wiosne. Takie widoki mamy 2
razy na rok. Widac bociany, pelikany, jastrzeby i wiele innych. Prawie nie widac
slonca. Wojsko powietrzne tez pomaga i podaja przez radary gdzie znajduja sie
"chmury" ptakow. (bylo juz kilka fatalnych wypadkow, tak ze zginal lotnik i ptak...)
Poszukam strony o ptakach i zalaczem.
Pzdr,
Mosze

Birding News

May 2005

Songbird ringing: A Reed Warbler (Acrocephalus scirpaceus) that was ringed last
August
in Nahal Saharon, near Kfar Ruppin, was caught at Ma'agan Michael at the
beginning of
May. An interesting report was received from Kobi Merom, who caught a young male
Bluethroat (Luscinia svecica) at Kibbutz Nir David, The bird had a ring from
Germany. It
appears that the individual had been ringed in Azerbaijan (!) in September 2004, two
months previously, on its way to Israel. It was ringed by a research team that
had used
German rings. Barn Owl (Tyto alba) monitoring: Kobi Marom and the ringing team are
checking all the nesting boxes that have been placed in the Bet Shean Valley and the
Jezreel Valley. About 250 nesting boxes have been set up by farmers from Tirat
Tzvi, in
the south, to Megiddo in the west. The first round of checking will end at the
beginning of
June. It does appear, at the moment, that there has been a decrease in the occupancy
rate in most (but not all) the sections this year, as well as a decrease in the
number of
nestlings that have fledged. These statistics correspond to reports by the
farmers that
there has been a significant decrease in the rodent population. It seems as
though, after
two years, we are reaching the expected decrease in the cycle. We have now ringed
about 450 Barn Owls, adults and juveniles, and have caught about 30 individuals that
were ringed last year. We are waiting for the results of the research done by
the biotope
students who were helping us to examine the Barn Owls' food content for their
biology
project. We do expect that there will be a change in the "menu", relevant to the
decrease
in the number of rodents. The Barn Owl pair that nests on the water tower at
Kfar Ruppin
has produced two nestlings this year. A video camera is recording their movements
which our guests can see "live" on a screen in a room at the base of the tower.
All the
Herons and the Pygmy Cormorants (Phalacrocorax pygmeus) are nesting in several
colonies around the Sea of Galilee. This is an impressive sight every year!
Under the
supervision of the Israel Nature and Parks Authority, they have not been allowed to
establish breeding colonies in the area of the fishponds of the Bet Shean
Valley. Each
month the Pygmy Cormorant population is monitored to measure trends, movements,
habitat use and breeding success. May is the height of the breeding season for the
Spur-winged Lapwing (Vanellus gragarius), Stone-curlew (Burhinus oedicnemus),
Bee-eater (Merops apiaster), Roller (Coracias garrulous), Little Owl (Athene
nectua) and
many other species that we are monitoring from a safe distance, so that they are not
disturbed.

April 2005

Ringing news: We had very full ringing days during April, with an interesting
variety of
species.
Two Wood Sandpipers (Tringa glareola) were ringed in the sewage treatment pools of
Kibbutz Tirat Tzvi, a wintering and migrating species.
A Blackcap (Sylvia atricapilla) was caught on 12 April, the very same date it
had been
caught and ringed, last yearו..and in exactly the same net!! This is an
excellent example
of the precise timing that can occur with an individual of a migrant.

Interesting observations: The Bee-eaters (Merops apiaster) arrived in Israel
during the
final days of March. During April large flocks flew over the country, and by the
end of the
month we observed the courtship rituals and nest-building activities.
Tens of Lesser Kestrels (Falco naumanni) are nesting in the quarry on Mt. Gilboa
and in
the area of Nahal Yitzpor. Hundreds of roosting individuals were observed during the
month at Kibbutz Tirat Tzvi - on the Fig Trees - their usual roosting site.
Huge flocks of hundreds of migrating Ortolan Buntings (Emberiza hortulana) were
seen in
open fields.
On 3 April, at Ramat Sirin, north-west of the Bet Shean Valley, 3 Dotterels
(Charadrius
morinellus) and a Cyprus Wheatear (Oenanthe cypriaca) were seen. These are rare
species in Israel.

February 2005

Interesting ringings: A Reed Warbler (Acrocephalus scirpaceus) that was ringed
at the
Kibbutz Haon fishponds in April 2004, was caught in Turkey about 2 weeks later.
A Sand Martin (Riparia riparia) that was ringed by Francis Argyle at the Hula in
April, was
caught at the same place in the same month. This is remarkable!!!

Interesting observations: Most of the ducks, which are the last to arrive for
the winter,
already left us by the end of February, though we still saw thousands of
Shovelers (Anas
clypeata) and hundreds of Tufted Ducks (Aythya fuligula).
Migrant species are now being caught in the nets at Tel Saharon, including Reed
Warbler
and Lesser Whitethroat (Sylvia curruca).
The Great Spotted Cuckoo (Clamator glandarus) has arrived to nest here - they have
been seen and heard in the area since the end of January.
The stork migration has begun with flocks of tens of White (Ciconia ciconia) and
Black
Storks (Ciconia nigra) passing over.
The adult Cormorants (Phalacrocorax carbo) are already in their summer plumage, with
white cheeks and breast. They should be flying north in about two weeks time.
Tens of Pygmy Cormorants (Phalacrocorax pygmeus) have been seen recently, they are
probably looking for a place to nest..ו
A single, young Flamingo (Phoenicopterus rubber) was seen at the end of February. It
landed at the Shalom Reservoir at Kfar Ruppin.

December 2004.
The month of December marked the end of the autumn migration. The migration usually
begins in July as the first species pass over the country, such as the
Olivaceous Warbler
(Hippolais pallida), Orphean Warbler (Sylvia hortensis), and the first Storks.
The last
species that arrive to winter here are the many species of ducks and Pallas's
Gull (Larus
ichthyaetus).
Summary of the autumn ringing season: We caught about 4,000 birds, of 88 different
species, in our nets this season. Of these, 673 were birds we had ringed during
previous
seasons. The ringing was carried out at 10 different sites, most of them in the
area of
Kfar Ruppin. This year we had new information from the rings of Black Storks
(Ciconia
nigra) and Spoonbills (Platalea leucordia). On 13.12.04, Yuval Datz caught a Cetti's
Warbler (Cettia cetti) with a Lebanese ring, at the Kibbutz Haon fishponds. Another
Cetti's Warbler, also with a Lebanese ring, was caught at the Kibbutz Haon, but
we are
still waiting for verification of the exact time and site. Eran Banker caught a
Chiffchaff
(Phylloscopus collybita) at Tel Saharon, which had been ringed there exactly 8
years and
18 days before. To our knowledge the European record is just above 7 years! And the
Israeli record was just above 5 years. We had caught the new record-holder in
December '97 and '99. It seems as if he does enjoy wintering in Israel every year.
Specialities that were observed in the Bet Shean Valley in December: Winter
brings us
thousands of birds of hundreds of different species. Ben Dvir collected the
interesting
sightings made in December: 2 Black-necked Grebes (Podiceps nigricollis), 3 Purple
Herons (Ardea purpurea), 36 Shelducks (Tadorna tadorna), 1 Ruddy Shelduck,
more than 1000 Shovelers (Anas clypeata), 2 Red-crested Pochards Netta ruffina),
2 White-headed Ducks (Oxyura leucocephala), a hybrid Tufted Duck (Aythya fuligula) X
Pochard (Aythya ferin), 1 White-tailed Eagle (Haliaeetus albiulla), 2 Greater
Spotted
Eagles (Aquila clanga), 50 Golden Plovers (Pluvialis apricaria), 5 Sociable Lapwings
(Vanellus gregarius) and 2 Buff-bellied Pipits (Anthus rubescens).
November 2004
At the height of the migration season, many species flew through our region.
Individuals
of some of these species have chosen to

Bardzo ciekawy temat- wedrowki ptakow. Dzieki Mosze i innym milosnikom ptakow,
mozemy dowiedziec sie wiecej o ich przelotach i powrotach do swoich gniazd.
U siebie na balkonie mam dwie budki dla ptakow, ktore po opuszczeniu ich przez
Szajmuja natychmiast Jerzyki, ktore przylatuja w maju i z niecierpliwoscia
zagladaja i czekaja na zwolnienie sie budek.
To musi byc niesamowite zjawisko te tysiace migrujacych ptakow.
