Dag 4: Municipality of Alexandroupoli, Eastern Macedonia and Thrace

Home Biota: what is it? Animals Plants Mammals Birds Insects NL EN

We start at Lake Kerkini, where the guide finds a masked shrike. Quite far from the path, but thanks to the telephoto lens it is recognizable. I don't see this bird any closer, although we see it often. Our next destination was the Alexandroupoli area. Our hotel was close to a hill where birds of prey and black storks like to hang in the wind. This way I was able to take pictures of the Short-toed Eagle and Spotted Eagle.
