The Bird Research Station in Jerusalem is usually busy drowning birds and guiding tens of thousands of visitors a year, but sometimes the station staff have exciting and particularly interesting meetings.
Last Friday, two of the dedicated volunteers at the place - Shira and Shachar Perlman - were involved in the maintenance of the Niman ponds, which serve the songbirds that are migrating these days, and suddenly found a snake of the thalam-kashkash, probably the second largest of the zebrafish, considered colorful and colorful.
The snake got stuck in a plastic net left in the field, a shirt with the help of another volunteer, Sarit Ettinger, and Amir Balaban, director of urban nature at the Society for the Protection of Nature.
After that, she was released back into the wild and she slowly crawled back to the special habitats found at the site, which is adjacent to the Knesset.

"Hope the snake lays eggs during the summer"
The Society for the Protection of Nature notes that scales of scales feed on a wide variety of animals, small mammals and even reptiles.
"The snake will recover quickly thanks to the water and the large amount of prey around the pool. This is the largest snake we have documented in recent years in Kiryat HaLeum, which holds up despite development pressure - expanding the Knesset, increasing visitor activity, public transportation, etc. It is a wonder it survives and we hope it lays eggs "During the summer, you will renew the stock of rams at the station," says Balban.
The Nili and David Jerusalem Bird Research Station of the Society for the Protection of Nature is the first urban nature site of its kind in the country, and is an attraction for tens of thousands of colorful birds and thousands of hikers and groups in all seasons.
