  • Don't miss our most recent birding adventure in Israel, in the latest episode of our 'Field Guides' series.
    In this episode, Chris and Diego, along with videographers Julián and Santiago, team up for the Champions of The Flyway bird conservation race. They birded tirelessly for nearly 24 hours straight, joining over 100 people from 26 teams from all over the world. With a “not too shabby!” tally of over 100 species, the full episode reveals our team's exciting final count - definitely worth a watch!
    In this groundbreaking adventure, featuring The Birders Show whole team for the first time, they helped raise $40,000. These funds are now fueling Red-breasted Goose conservation projects led by various BirdLife partners in Bulgaria and Kazakhstan.

    This video is brought to you along with our partners at Kowa Sporting Optics, who are helping us to achieve our mission to make birding more accessible to people around the world.

    (Together with Kowa, this time we made a special optics gift, so make sure you watch the full episode until the end)
    For allowing us to use their great footage for this episode, we are indebted to Yuval Dax, Josep del Hoyo and Yoav Perlman and for supporting our participation on the race we are thankful with Jeff Bouton, Jonathan Meyrav, Yoav Perlman, Alena Kacal and others from Kowa Sporting Optics, BirdLife Israel/SPNI, and the Eilat Birding Center.
