Birds around Tel Aviv
Tel Aviv, Israel
Every measure here is worked out per 5 degree square, so this covers the wider area around Tel Aviv (30° to 35° latitude, 30° to 35° longitude, about 550 km across), not the city alone. Counts are shares of all birds records in the same weeks, so busier stations do not inflate them (methods).
Arrived in the last four weeks

Expected in the next six weeks
No arrivals expected here in the next six weeks, going by last year.
