Last from Israel

I took this shot of the Moon while waiting to see the rare Hume's Owl, which we saw eventually with a spotlight, too dark for any pictures. Most of the rest were taken by Sue.
We have tried to name these Butterflies but please let us know if any are wrong.









Can anyone name the 2 above? Have searched the web and all our books.
















It came as a surprise to find there are a lot of minefields in Israel!! but it was a very safe and well organised trip and we were never in any danger.

    How many people can boast a Humes Owl on their lifelist? Well done!! These are all gorgeous photos. How nice that you can share a new place with those of us who may never have the opportunity to travel there in person! Thanks! ~karen

    Beautiful collection of photos! You have such a wonderful variety, and it is fascinating to see images from the other side of the world.

    Gorgeous post and nice collection once again... The picture before the last one and such an encounter probably brought you back to reality!
