Birding on Steroids or the Kerkini Lake in 10 Pictures

10,000 Birds

This time I was lucky enough to join a fam trip organised by Natural Greece, an ecotourism company from Athens, and spend a few days at my favourite Kerkini Lake, which you already birded through my bins ( April and September ). (One may also read this as “those who paddle their own canoe do not have to wait for their ship to come in.”)

Spotting scope review: Swarovski 25-60×65 STX

10,000 Birds

I bought my first 20 years ago from some Russian on the seashore in Greece, but have not used it much because of rather dark images (I even took it to India with me – and didn’t use it even once). It is not merely sharpness of image, but sharpness from-edge-to-edge right up to 60x magnification! This is not my first spotting scope.
