DAY 1 - 14.09.2022

Timmu continued after morning feeding in Gesher on his way to Africa above the Negev (Israel) to Sinay. Crossed the border (Israel - Egypt) and the localisation are in the area of one intermittent stream south from Al Kuntilah.

(Intermittent stream: Rain-dependent streams (ephemeral) flow only after precipitation. Runoff from rainfall is the primary source of water for these streams. Like seasonal streams, they can be found anywhere but are most prevalent in arid areas.)

FROM:
Gesher (pond) in the Beit She'an Valley in northeastern Israel
TO:
"Al Kuntilah" in North Sinay Governorate of Egypt

my photohoster don't work today properly - pics later (done)





Timmu's path line is not very far from this place (Memorial Monument to Eyal Itai and Shani Shaham)
