This morning, eight flamingos were spotted at the Hula Lake Nature Reserve, alongside other migratory birds, as part of the ongoing autumn migration season. The sighting, initially reported over the weekend, was confirmed Monday morning, according to reports.
Inbar Shlomit Rubin, the Hula Lake area manager for KKL-JNF, told N12 earlier Monday that the migration season is "fascinating" and brings "a new surprise each morning," with new birds and wildlife arriving nightly. The initial report of the flamingos' arrival came at 08:47 Jerusalem, when N12's Guy Varon reported that eight flamingos had arrived over the weekend. The manager's comments, published at the same time, underscored the seasonal pattern.
The Jewish National Fund (KKL-JNF) has explained that the shortening of daylight hours marks the beginning of the autumn migration, with the first storks expected in August. The Hula Lake serves as a key stopover for waterfowl along the migration route, as The Zioneer reported earlier.
No further details on the flamingos' stay or other species arrivals have been reported yet.
