| 12th Nov. At Neo Chorio.
We had lovely views of an orphean warbler which was still present
the next day. Also on the 13th a single honey buzzard
headed south.
At Tavronitis. A little grebe was fishing in the estuary.
Further along the coast was a nice flock of 12+ tawny pipits
together with a black redstart, while a booted eagle circled
overhead.
|
| 15th Nov. At
Tavronitis. Lots more meadow pipits and another booted eagle.
|
| 22nd Nov. At
Tavronitis.
A moorhen scuttled for cover at our approach, while at least 50 meadow
pipits were foraging.
|
| 24th
Nov. At
Nembros. A female sparrow hawk was hunting a flock of short toed
larks, about 20 of them, while it ignored the perhaps more agile meadow
pipits. There were also 3 serin; and 2 rough legged buzzards.
|
| 25th
Nov. Along
the coast. 2 late spotted flycatchers were busy feeding on
small insects beside a shallow pool.
|
|
26th
Nov. At Kamisiana.
A classic juvenile lesser spotted eagle soared.
Out on one of the peninsulas. All we could find were 2 griffon
vultures; a whinchat; a pair of ravens; a single lanner falcon; and a blue
rock thrush.
|
| 28th
Nov. Over
a nearby gorge. We enjoyed seeing a pair of bonellis eagles; 5 griffon
vultures; a pair of lanner falcons; a peregrine falcon; a blue rock
thrush; and a group of 3 honey buzzards. The next day we went back and
this time saw the bonellis eagles again; a single rough legged buzzard; a
pair of lanner falcons; a pair of kestrels; a raven and 2 griffon
vultures.
Near Sassolos. Were two pairs of golden eagles displaying, whilst a
single griffon looked hungrily at a lone swallow trying to get down to the
warmer south of the island.
At the vulture feeding station. Were a pair of adult bearded
vultures together with a 3rd year plumaged bird. Also another
griffon and a steppe buzzard.
