I have uploaded a nice trip report from Coke Smith who was in Russia and Scandanavia last year. He saw some cool stuff including a Sable and Bowhead Whales.

Mammals in Israel

Ohr Treger from Israel was good enough to give me a lot of information on mammal watching there.  His information is at http://mammalwatching.com/Palearctic/palearctisrael.html
 
Thanks Ohr.
