Migration is going on unabated, with new species coming in. At the ringing station we are seeing a change-over from the masses of Chiffchaffs (Phylloscopus collybita) to Lesser Whitethroats (Sylvia curruca), and now on to Blackcaps (Sylvia atricapilla). There are also increasing numbers of Balkan Warblers (formerly Eastern Bonelli's Sylvia orientalis). We also had the first Quail in the net (Coturnix coturnix), and the first Willow Warbler (Phylloscopus trochilus). On the grounds of the Kibbutz the highlights are a female Semi-collared Flycatcher (Ficedula semitorquata), a Black Restart (Phoenicurus ochruros) and a samamisicus Redstart (Phoenicurus phoenicurus). Also at least two Masked Shrikes (Lanius nubicus). Here pictures of the Semi-collared Flycatcher...
