Message: <blockquote data-quote="3Italianbirders" data-source="post: 3537987" data-attributes="member: 116922">There is a similar thread for late May early June, but I thought I’d add a new one as our dates and requirements are slightly different.We wouldn’t be able to leave before June 12 (June 10 is the last day of school here) and will have up to a couple of weeks. Ideally we wouldn’t want to go to the other side of the world as we did that last year (BC), so somewhere closer would be nice. We don’t like the heat and although a beach every now and then would be appreciated by our daughter it is not a must.Of course migration is over by then, so the first thing that comes to mind is somewhere north. We went to Sweden two years ago and are tempted by the duo Varanger-Finnish Owls, but it’s probably a bit late in the day to organise such a trip, also I think somewhere warmer would be nice for a change. One idea was Scotland - we went a long time ago and have wanted to return ever since. This time we would focus on the West coast, Handa Island and probably Mull.Another place on the list would be North-eastern Greece (Lake Kerkini, the Rhodope mountains, the Evros Delta and Dadia forest), but I wonder if it will already be very hot by then, making it impossible to bird except early in the morning and in the evenings.Spain is also high on the list, but having been there previously we know for certain that the temperatures would already be in the baking range.We would really appreciate any thoughts on the above and/or any other suggestions, with each passing year it becomes harder to find a viable birding destination for the school holidays!Thanks!</blockquote>
