Dag 7: Abdera Municipality, Eastern Macedonia and Thrace

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

We start with a trip from our hotel around the hills a few kilometers away, then we go to the east side of the Nestos Delta where there are many lakes. One of those lakes is a resting place for hundreds of flamingos. The most special part of the day was seeing shearwaters from the coast. Usually they are just dots in a scope;now I could even take recognizable photos.

<h3>Beach at the Nestos Delta</h3><p>East of the mouth of the Nestos Delta, we walk to an inland lake with hundreds of flamingos. On the small island off the coast, a group of cormorants is resting, including a crested cormorant. But for me, it was too far, even with a telephoto lens.</p>Apple with iPhone 16 Pro back triple camera 6.765mm f/1.78, 1/11364 sec at F1.8, ISO 64
