Kalloni Birds, Lesvos, Greece
Kalloni is a large gulf in the island, which itself is quite large.  At the end of the gulf is a salt works & associated drainage channels.  These are a haven for birds, with flamingos usually in the salt pans (not today), and other fresh water waders in the channels.  Being a haven for birds, it also, therefore a haven for birders, and twitchers, and every other kind of odd bod like us.  We met folks from UK & Holland & enjoyed talking with them. The scenery was nice, too !  It is hay-making time, the birds all have young around them, the early summer scents are marvellous.  Lovely to be here !
