The first cranes of the season arrived at the Hula Valley Bird Reserve overnight. Over the coming weeks, tens of thousands more cranes are expected to reach the area. The Hula Valley is a major stopover point for cranes migrating between Europe and Africa, and their arrival marks the beginning of the winter migration season.
The reserve, managed by the Jewish National Fund-KKL (JNF-KKL), is a vital ecosystem for migratory birds. The annual arrival of cranes is a significant natural event, drawing attention from nature enthusiasts and researchers alike. The JNF-KKL prepares the site to accommodate the large numbers of birds, ensuring they have adequate food and water resources during their stay.
This year's arrival is anticipated to be as robust as in previous years, highlighting the continued importance of the Hula Valley as a critical habitat. The birds will spend several months in the valley before continuing their journey south.
