A lone migrant making its way north through Israel. These perky birds seemed to appear out of nowhere whistling their three note. Welcome as soon as we stepped out of the car. They were after free hand-outs. And as soon as they realised none were forthcoming upped and disappeared. Another scavenger that seemed quite used to people.
