It was also a bit of a frustrating day (compounded by me locking myself out of my accommodation!) but I did see some good birds. Skala Eresou...- Andrew Whitehouse

Have arrived here for the week for my first ever visit. Haven't done any birding yet, but did see a pair of Laughing Doves outside the shops in Skala Eresou! Will be based in the west of the island, so will generally be looking around there. I'll post what I see on this thread.- Andrew Whitehouse
