The Kerkini Lake, Greece: Dipped One, Got One

10,000 Birds

The next morning is for the Kerkini Lake, one of the youngest national parks of Greece, protected only ten years ago, in 2006 and inhabited by 11 amphibian, 27 reptilian, 44 mammal and 312 bird species. Among them are Dalmatian Pelicans , so big and lazy. I opt for the bird richest section of the lake, visible from the eastern dyke.
