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.
There was also a further good movement of Bee-eaters today (5 May), probably fewer than yesterday but we actually managed to see more today. There were at least 69 in 10 parties heading north.
