    Kefalonia June/July

    It's no use to you I'm afraid David, but I'll be visiting Kefalonia in July (staying at Lourdas on a family holiday). Having never seen Black Woodpecker, I'd be very interested to hear how you get on or if you find any other information about the island. I saw a reference to a checklist for...
