Rhodes - RFI Olive tree warbler and Lanner (1 Viewer)

[Ghostly Vision]

Hi

Having done a trawl on the web I wonder whether anyone can help with information on sites for the above two species in Rhodes?

I am visiting in May and a also looking for other wildlife as well.

All help welcome.

Sean,

There's a 2003 report which indicates the bushes around Gennadi Beach good for Olive tree Warbler.

Thanks John - by the way you've changed! You look so much older than when I last saw you if your avatar is anything to go by.

I did manage to get that report from another website. It seems few birders have been to Rhodes, as Lesbos is much better staked out.

Arrival dates of Olive-tree warbler would be helpful, as it looks like I'm going from 30th April now and might be a little early.

Age catches up with all of us Sean :-C

We were on Lesvos a few years ago in last week of April and were a week or so too early, however with global warming they might be migrating earlier now.
