A new season of the INTEGRAL Galactic bulge monitoring program (see ATel #438) has begun with an observation of seven pointings obtained between 2012 Feb 14.375 (9 UT) and 14.528 (12:41 UT), and reveals several transient X-ray sources detected by the twin JEM-X instruments. For temporary technical reasons the IBIS instrument was not taking data during these pointings.
We find the low-mass X-ray binary SAX J1747.0-2853 at a flux of 245 ±65 mCrab between 3-10 keV with a detection significance of 4 sigma for a total effective exposure of 14.9 ksec.
