Sunday 20th September 2015 LESBOS TRIP

After a safe and decent flight from the UK to Mytilene, we did very little yesterday as it was very warm.

Today saw a 06:30 start with a visit to Metochi lake, which surprisingly, was almost at spring levels.

Present of note were three Spoonbill, 15 Grey Heron, three Purple Heron, three Wood Sandpiper and a green Sandpiper. High and flying southg were four raptors probably long-Legged Buzzard.

After breakfast we visited the Kalloni Saltpans where we were treated to the following selection of wildlife:

thee Zitting cisticola, Five Great White Egret, Greenshank, Redshank, 100's of Avocet, c1500 Greater Flamingo, Two Dalmation Pelicans, 1 Great White Pelican and a Black Tern.
