Hula Reserve Wetland Watch

A Second Vantage Point on the Marsh

This infrared camera is the reserve's second fixed viewpoint, angled across a sheltered inlet lined with dense reeds and overhanging branches. Positioned by the Charter Group of Wildlife Ecology in partnership with the Israel Nature and Parks Authority, it covers a distinct stretch of the marsh from the reserve's other feed.

Mammals of the Wetland Edge

The camera's low-light imaging is tuned to reveal movement along the water's edge that daylight cameras miss. Golden jackals, wild boar, and Egyptian mongoose regularly pass through the reeds, drawn by the reserve's abundant fish and amphibian life.

Roosting Ground for Migratory Birds

Beyond the mammals, the sheltered channel is a favored roost for Eurasian cranes and great white pelicans resting along their journey through the Great Rift Valley flyway.

A Protected Remnant of the Historic Hula Swamps

The Hula Nature Reserve preserves a remnant of the historic Hula swamps, drained in the 1950s and later partially restored. It remains one of the Middle East's most important wetlands for wildlife, protected in partnership with Israel's Nature and Parks Authority.
