On last Friday we went out to the desert to look for Asian Houbara #Bustards.
Unfortunately there was no Bustards, but a stunning Hoopoe #Lark in courtship display was a nice compensation...

Look at how much plastic was found in the Shearwater’s stomach while Dr. Amos Belmaker and @shai-blitzblau.bsky.social prepared for the avian collection at the Steinhardt Museum of Natural History in Tel Aviv University
Thank you Shai and Amos for the photos!
Last week, an exhausted Great Shearwater (Puffinus gravis) washed a shore in Gaash Beach, Israel (~20 km north of Tel Aviv, 10th Israeli record) and was found by Nofar & Tomer Kestin.
unfortunatly it died shortly after arriving the wildlife hospital.

It was an amazing two weeks!
We worked hard, coded a lot, and listened to very interesting lectures.
Now it's time to come back home, and start the implementation phase.
Thank you very much for all @animove-course.bsky.social staff, you are awesome!
Weekend break was fun, now back to work 👍 Whilst the first week was teaching heavy, the second week is focusing on the learned new methods using data sets that everyone has brought along to work with.
