Hula Park and Bird Sanctuary.

Went to the Hula Nature Reserve. When the Golan Heights came under Israeli control, the water supply to the valley was restored, having previously been drained. This resulted in a huge increase in fertility of the land but the new lakes that formed provided a refuge for migrating birds, especially Duck and Cranes. Now large numbers call in on their migration each year and since the land was restored in 1996, the numbers increase every year. Now a large area has been set aside aside as a sanctuary for migrating birds.
