LESVOS 2026

Yet another fantastic Wingspan bird Tour of this fascinating Greek island. We had superb weather for the the first four days then an abrupt change brought in wind, rain and a huge fall of migrant bird species. We saw most of the regular species that Lesvos has to offer with excellent views of Kruper's & Western Rock Nuthatches, Cretzschmar's & Cinereous Buntings, Masked Shrike, Collared & Red-breasted Flycatchers, Isabelline Wheatear, Little Crake, Little Bittern and many more of course. It was a poor week for butterflies, very windy at times, rain showers and low temperatures but we still manged to see around 15 species.
