The Lake of Beasts: Kerkini, Greece

10,000 Birds

Yet, we didn’t get far when a smallish falcon flew over the dyke and landed on a log in the mud. Afterwards I added species #401, a female Red-crested Pochard along the eastern dyke and the last bird observed in 2017 turned out to be one lovely Little Owl , perhaps 15 metres from the Limneo Guesthouse.
