Some highlights & group favorites: (scroll down for photos)

Great Snipe, found by the group in the evening and enjoyed by many others the following day
Rüppell’s Warbler, our plan worked!
Crested Lark, because it’s the first bird everyone sees and is an iconic part of every trip
The incredible scenery of the UNESCO Geopark and the museum
Eleni’s beautiful rose garden
Krüper’s Nuthatch
Cinereous Bunting at a watering hole
The mighty Dalmatian Pelicans
Great Tit, Blue Tit and Goldfinches. By no means rare, but special to our group
The diminutive Scops Owl and the charismatic Long-eared Owl
Eating out at the wonderful tavernas
The groups all embracing interest of wildlife, scenery and culture
Finally the pair of immaculate Spur-winged Plovers, so well presented that we named them Giorgio Armani and Donatella Versace
