Lesvos April 2010
I have led tours over the last 10 years to this fabulous birding location and this was one of the best groups I
have ever led. We had such great fun, with some hilarious moments along the way and we recorded the
highest count of species on the island for that week, 163 species, which was due the great efforts of all the
group. A special mention must go to John Harris for his constant, humourous banter, his incredible ability
to pick up distant bird calls and to the rest of us for putting up with him. The pinnacle of this tour must
have been when we stopped in the Maladia Valley to watch two Rollers perched on the track-side fence just
a few meters away from the bus. The two birds then flew into a lone fig tree and were joined by four Golden
Orioles, a Lesser Grey Shrike, a Red-backed Shrike and a Corn Bunting! Where-else in Europe could you
find such variety in so close proximity and in such good weather?
