Thank you for looking Dave

Beautiful video and pictures, Phil. Great shots of the Bearded Reedling, a bird I never saw on Lesvos in the ten years we visited the island. We met one day along Tsiknias River, where you were observing a Spur-winged Lapwing. I had reported the bird in the app.

Yes I remember meeting. You did well that day. Thanks for watching and maybe see you Lesvos again one day.

Really nice video Phil. Glad I stumbled upon your channel. I’ve always wanted to go birding on Lesvos, deffo a bucket list destination. Looks as beautiful and as full of birds as the other Greek islands I’ve been to. The bee-eater flight shots 👌🏻 especially the one at 4:20 ish but my favorite images in the video are the Bearded Tit shots! Brilliant! All the best mate, Andy.

Beautiful shots, and I am pretty sure locally on a computer they look even more beautiful and detailed. Thank you for spending the time, putting into the work and share all of that.

Thank you David. Lesvos is a wonderful place.

Excellent video and photos, Phil! The majority of those birds would be lifers for me. I'm jealous! Safe travels!

Thanks for watching and pointing our my error. Of course it's a White Stork (Ciconia ciconia) and not a White Shark ( had a word with my researcher just now and told her I don't care if she's my daughter, she's still grounded!) 😀

@@philgowerbirdphotography Thank you again for your beautiful pictures and for showing my country's (Greece) avifauna.

Some great shots Phil and a good variety of species. I live on Corfu and there are few different breeds, unfortunately hunting birds here is a tradition so I don't think they have been able to form large colonies over the years, they are only supposed to shoot certain ones but they don't stick to those rules I am afraid.

I think/hope the Mediterranean hunting culture is changing for the better. I took quite a few more species but just haven’t had the time to process all the shots. Great place Lesvos.👍

Could you tell me what month you visited please? Although I’d like to go earlier in the year I think I’d be there in early 2nd week of June so want to know what birds to expect. Many thanks and superb captures.

All the breeding birds will be there but not the birds migrating through. Best time would be last 2 weeks of April and first two weeks of May.
