    28/07/10 Last day with the car. Back to the Salt Pans where the Greater Flamingos were a little closer than usual. After that we visited Kalloni to photograph the Storks. Then we went back to the place with the Bee-eaters and took some pictures but it was hard to get close to them.

    27/7/10 We went to the salt pans where we saw a Lesser Grey Shrike, a Bee-eater and a Black Stork. We walked in the forest on the way to Vasilika looking for Krüper’s Nuthatches but no luck. We returned again to the salt pans during the afternoon. Then we went to Kalloni to photograph the White...

    26/7/10 We stopped at Kalloni on the way to the salt pans and my wife looked up and saw a White Stork on a pole. Then we saw a nest with 3 fledged young White Storks. There were Curlew Sandpipers at the Salt Pans. Nothing at the marsh at Parakila that day but just south of the village there was...

    25/7/10 We returned to the salt pans at Kalloni. We saw a flock of about 15-20 Ruddy Shelducks in flight but I didn’t manage to get any pictures. That was the last time we saw Ruddy Shelducks during our stay. There was a Kestrel (not a Lesser) hunting across the road from the salt pans. After...

    24/7/10 We drove to Mithimna (Molivos) and climbed up to the castle. The girl at the ticket desk had no change and she suggested we visit the cafeteria. Lucky we did because 2 Eleonora’s Falcons flew past as we sat admiring the view. Later in the day we saw a family of Little Grebes at a pond...

    23/7 A Red Squirrel (I assume a Persian Squirrel Sciurus anomalus) crossed the road and we stopped the car to have a look at it. At Skala Kalloni we saw Black-headed Gulls, Common Terns and a Great Cormorant. We drove on to the marsh at Parakila (nothing in the rivers on the way) and scared up 2...

    22/7/10 In the morning we collected our car, a Ford Fiesta. First we drove down a dirt road to a beach near Ambelia on the north coast where we saw amphibians, terrapins and dragonflies, we saw a Short-toed Eagle in a tree on the way back up from the coast. At the Petrified Forest I saw a male...

    20/7/10 I took the usual walk to the coast and got better pictures of the Turtle Doves. I saw juvenile Woodchat Shrikes as well as a stoat. We saw a Common Buzzard later that day when we went to Ambelia Beach to feed bread to the terrapins in the river mouth. There was a large green Tree Frog on...

    18/7/10 I discovered a great walk to the coast in the early morning. On or near the path there were families of Black-eared Wheatears, some Sombre Tits and a Middle Spotted Woodpecker, and when I got nearer the coast I saw my first Hoopoe fly off. There were lots of Crested Larks, a Stonechat...

    Lesvos - July 2010

    The decision to travel to Lesvos on 16th July was a sudden one. We had attended my god-daughter’s wedding earlier in the month and felt like a holiday abroad as we hadn’t had one for a few years. There weren’t many places to choose from at the last minute and Lesvos seemed by far the most...
