Lesvos Part 6 of 7, 16th May, 2006

A pre-breakfast trip to Kallonis inland pool. Two Squacco Heron bathed in early morning sunlight.



Another of the heron tribe - a Little Bittern in flight.



This Great Reed Warbler fed openly on the far side of the pool.



A pair of White Stork at the nest in a village just north of Skalla Kallonis, complete with House Sparrow lodgers.



Whilst driving the tracks across to the East River we saw our only Lesser-grey Shrike of the trip.



Bees the size of your fists ! Err... well almost !



A mean-looking Hooded Crow in the East River.



Whilst following a track west of Napi we came across this old stone bridge.



Although heard regularly, Cirl Bunting was rarely seen. This individual was the closest one came to the camera, in an olive grove not far beyond the old stone bridge.



Back at the Kallonis inland pool a European Bee-Eater flew overhead.



An Olivaceous Warbler near the pool.



Newly arrived the day before - part of a flock of Rose-coloured Starling feeding in fields behind the salt pans.



Still a good few Greater Flamingo on the salt pans.
