The wonderful countryside and generous Greek people. Some good butterflies and a (very) few orchids.Lowlights: Going to the Scops site 4 times without success and dipping out on the Ruppell. Also, no Golden Oriole, Hoopoe and, for me, being too busy watching White winged and whiskered tern and not paying enough attention to what I thought was a single bee-eater on the wires behind me at the entrance to the salt works (and which may well have been the reported blue-cheeked bee-eater!). However, this does mean that we have an excuse to return!</blockquote>
