Starlings kissing against the backdrop of Ein Gedi; a Negev doe with a young fawn in a dust storm in Nitzana; a marsh frog in the Gilboa; a hedgehog cub and a Griffon vulture at the Safari hospital – These are just a few of the winning images in the Israel wildlife photography competition “A Photo of Nature #3” that will be on display at the Eretz Israel Museum in Tel Aviv in the upcoming months.
