Since Iโve been totally blind for the past 3 hours with a strong and heavy fog covering our post from all directions, and since I havenโt posted about the previous counting days, Iโll use this time for a fast recap on the past 4 days.
Monday: I wasnโt supposed to go to the spot, but I couldnโt miss the smell of the ground after the first rain, and I had some hope that the weather would clear out for the rest of the day, which did not happen.
On my arrival, the wind was strong with a speed of 30km/hr, clouds covering the sky, and a low temperature of 13 ยฐC. I felt the rain coming in fast, so I kept my equipment ready to move fast, stayed for less than an hour and only got 1 species, a first-timer for this year that was sneaking amidst the fog and almost got away with it, their color perfectly blend with the fog, a male Pallid Harrier, what a sight flying under the rain.
Snapped a few pics and went back to the car.
Tuesday: A change in the scenery, slow wind, clear sky above, some fog on lower altitudes, temperature increases a bit to give a warm feeling.
Migration was on fire in the early hours, unfortunately, I arrived later than usual at the spot on that day due to car problems.
In just about 2 hours I had 2500 birds divided into 11 species, LSEs were the most abundant.
Around 12 the fog reached us and blocked our view, but that did not affect the migration in any way, I got more than one friend sending videos and pics from different lower areas watching huge numbers passing by.
Wednesday: Temperature dropped 1ยฐC, the wind was stronger than the day before, clear sky above.
On this day migration was really slow, but there were some new species despite the short time spent.
A Black-Winged Kite was an astonishing sight, rarely seen in migration, and 2 Montaguโs Harrier, both of them first timers.
Around 11:00 the fog ruined the day.

Fourth record of breeding in Lebanon, video taken on Saturday 9 of April 2022 in Ammiq.
It was a nice encounter with this couple of Great Spotted Cuckoo.

What a Sight!!!!!!!!!!!
On Sunday while watching the end of the raptor's migration, I had the chance to see what I think is the biggest flock of GREAT WHITE PELICAN so far.
No less than 3000 birds in one flock, kept on passing for around 10 mins. Luckily I was in the right place to enjoy it and take some shots.
Enjoy the movie.
