Gazelle Valley, Jerusalem
Written By Mark Naveh
Nature havens in cities are wonderful places to spend time in. This spot in the heart of Jerusalem is one of my favourites. There was a lot of action going on in and around the small lake over the course of one morning. The peak was when a flock of European Bee-eaters arrived to take a bath, diving repeatedly at high speed into the water, completely submerging themselves. It was a spectacular show to witness, they are extremely fast flyers so I was happy to manage to get a few shots that were in focus to record the event.
