Demanding Environments: Birding in the Desert | Israel 2023 | Field Guides
Ойын-сауық
This Birders Show Field Guide documents Chris and Diego’s journey into the Negev Desert with videographers Julián and Santiago. As Diego says at the start of the video, you might not expect to find many birds in a desert, but both our presenters were struck by the amazingly diverse habitat they found. Join them as they go birding, learn about this tough and demanding environment, find thousands of migratory birds that make the desert their temporary home, and study a couple of highly specialized species of Sandgrouse. They even find time to visit a winery!
This video was made possible thanks to the support of our partner, Kowa Sporting Optics. Kowa is helping us achieve our mission to make birding more accessible to people around the world.

We would like to thank Jeff Bouton, Jonathan Meyrav, Yoav Perlman, Alena Kacal, Carmey Avdat Winery, Celia's Hide, Kowa Sporting Optics, BirdLife Israel/SPNI and the Eilat Birding Center for inviting us to explore the desert, and for supporting the trip.

Wooow, what a hotspot! It's so cool to see an episode of the Birder's show filled with birds I'm familiar with as a European birder! Some of them would be lifers for me, too, hoping to see some of them in the near future! :) Thanks for the amazing content as always!

What a beautiful episode again! and a very interesting one. I just thought it was a bit strange to post an episode like this in the current situation without saying anything about the genocide.

I know, I know, and it is a weird and sad situation the world is living these days, but, in my view, it is always been "one thing is one thing, and another thing is another thing" so we want to spread the word of birds, birding, camaraderie, conservation, nature, etc etc... that was what we went to film in Israel back in March 2023 and we don't need to say anything or mention or judge the political/social situation there... glad you enjoy the birds and the episode ;-)
A lot different form your home patch. I'm in Australia and we spend most of our time inland so the dry country is very familiar.

After so much waiting we are blessed by a full time video, worth waiting

indeed as Didiert (one of our friends and followers) commented here already, we visited in March 2023 attending the birding conservation race Champions of the Flyway (you can watch our episode on that one... a great one!) so we were traveling freely, birding all over the place in the Negev Desert
Diego, what bird did you see at 18:25? 😀

Great video wish it was longer ❤
@diegoCOLbirding

ahhhhh, we also would love longer videos but, more and more we've learned our optimal content videos are short about some 20ish minutes for field episodes, and 40ish for studio sessions... hard to pack everything in such a small amount of time tho... great job our producers/editors/colorists/audiopeople etc etc do!
Amazing video!!
