10,000 Birds
AUGUST 4, 2021
My outing’s total count for water-dependent waterfowl, shorebirds, herons, gulls, and terns (I’m leaving land-loving Cattle Egrets out of this count) was around 120; the count for a similar date in 2018 was around 2000 individuals. I had never seen so little life at the lake. Still, there were a few good signs.

From Kerkini, I would have some 600 km more to reach home, about 2000 km in total. The first thing to appear was its yellow bill – a locally rare Cattle Egret ! From there some 200 km to the Kerkini Lake National Park with its 310+ bird checklist, stopping en route at the Mt. Paigeo for mountain species such as Rock Partridge.

I am certainly not complaining though, as a repetitive working routine that will lead to around 500 species a year is better than the working routine I had in the late 2000′s, where seeing more than 250 species a year would have been extraordinary.
