In addition we had great views of Blue Rock-thrush, Crag Martin, Subalpine Warbler.
We lunched near Tichero (by the BP garage on the main road north to Dadia) then coffeed in Alto Ego in Tichero where we enojoyed the three storks nest right by the cafe and had a Collared Pratincole fly over the town!
In the afternoon we went down to the Evros Delta - superb! Birdies included Calandra Lark, hundreds of marsh terns, Bittern booming, herons, egrets, Glossy Ibis (hundreds) etc, etc. Just a fantastic afternoon.
