This morning I operated the ringing at the Jerusalem Bird Observatory. I ring there once a month, to keep my fingers practiced... It was a great morning with lovely weather (a little cold at start, then warmed up) before more winter weather coming up - it's the coldest March on record in Israel! JBO looked fine this morning, with birds, flowers and people (three school groups).
Quality birds came in nicely - there were so many species this morning. Most unexpected was a Moustached Warbler - one of the very few ever in Jerusalem:
This male Rueppell's Warbler was a first for the season at JBO:

Thanks to all the team who helped me this morning - Hanna, Dror, Adam, Avihu, Reva and Gerda.
And it was great meeting you Tuesday. I’m glad you were there
