Last Sunday I visited in the Tel-Aviv University, Museum
Zoological. My main goal was to obtain moult data from passerine skins
preserved in their collection. It was very interesting and productive. Most
interesting was to check several species that are very hard to trap. For each
species I found many different individuals collected in different seasons. This is very difficult to achieve in live
birds. Most skins I checked were collected many years before I was born. See
below some interesting examples.
