Saving the Drowning Cormorant, or the Kerkini Lake, Greece

10,000 Birds

When I came here for the first time, the Kerkini Lake was the only place in Europe where Dalmatian Pelicans were increasing their numbers. Nikos managed to show us the incubating Cattle Egrets, of which only 2 or 3 pairs breed in this enormous heronry, counting up to 9000 pairs back in 2014. Dalmatian Pelican © Dusanka Stokovic-Simic.
