LESVOS 2025

A constant chilly eaterly wind took the edge off a brilliant trip. We saw all the 'Lesvos Specials' with quite a few real 'goodies' thrown in. The flowers were picturesque, providing carpets of colour in every corner of the island. Fewer butterflies were on show this year too, but the birds showed up in great abundance and variety. It was fabulous birding extravaganza.
