Greece's only bird observatory on the island of Antikythira opened for the spring migration two days ago. It's located about 90km to the south-east of Cape Tenaro and visible from there on a clear day.
They produce an update on their observations and ringing activities most days and it will be interesting to compare their sightings to our own.

Welcome to the Cape Tenaro Birder Blog, recording observations of migrant birds and other wildlife at the southern most tip of the Greek mainland. With limited tree and scrub cover Cape Tenaro is a really great place to observe bird migration. In spring it is the first land fall for migrants arriving from North Africa after a 400km crossing of the Mediterraean Sea; while in the autumn the long, narrow peninsula of the Mani funnels migrant birds moving south.
