Dag 7: De Nestos Delta en strandmeren

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.
