Inbar Shlomit Rubin, the Hula Lake area manager for KKL-JNF, told N12's Guy Varon that the current migration season is bringing new birds and wildlife each night, with 'a new surprise every morning.' Her remarks, published Monday morning, underscore the dynamic nature of the season at one of Israel's key wetland habitats.
Earlier Monday (08:47 Jerusalem), The Zioneer reported that eight flamingos had arrived at Hula Lake over the weekend, alongside other migratory birds. KKL-JNF explained that the shortening daylight hours mark the onset of autumn migration, with the first storks expected in August. The manager's firsthand account now adds a daily dimension to the unfolding season.
Hula Lake, a major stopover along the Syrian-African Rift Valley, is a vital resting and feeding ground for hundreds of thousands of migratory birds each year. The site draws birdwatchers and nature enthusiasts from across Israel and abroad.
As the migration season progresses, additional species are expected to arrive in the coming weeks, with the peak of the crane migration yet to come.
