Meet Chalamish, or C114 yellow. This handsome male MacQueen's Bustard was GPS-tagged in 2022 by @rashut_hateva in the western Negev, very close to the Egyptian border. Yesterday, Meidad and me found it with another three bustards in fields not far from where it had been tagged.

This morning during work in Maagan Michael I spotted this colour-ringed Ringed Plover. It had been ringed nearby by @YosefKiat in October 2013! With foreign ringing recoveries coming from NE Asia, it is mindboggling to imagine the journeys this bird may have taken during its life
