Northern Greece is undoubtedly one of the best birdwatching areas in Europe.
Dave Gosney writes: ‘‘When I revisited northern Greece in 2014 I was reminded just how exceptional it is for birding. Nearby western Turkey may have some extra, more exotic species such as Green Warbler and Brown Fish Owl, but the birding in Greece is much more enjoyable because of the far greater numbers of raptors, warblers, buntings, shrikes and, especially, waterbirds. The fact that I filmed over 100 species on one 3 week trip (compared with 60-80 at every other European area I’ve visited so far) gives you an idea just how exceptional this area is.”
Compared to other publications covering the same area, this one:
Provides the most useful maps - so you can easily find your way to the best bits of wetland, mountain or woodland
Includes GPS co-ordinates to help you find the right turnings, parking spaces or viewing points
Highlights the best areas only - and summarises the key attraction in the first paragraph so you can easily decide whether to read on or bother to visit the site
Has a map on the inside cover which serves as an index so you can easily find any site in the book
Is light and portable (and cheap)
Is updated via a free APP, giving details of what other birders have found at these sites
Is complemented by a DVD showing you exactly what it’s like to go birding in many of these sites
