Today was the last day of full coverage, details to follow. The undoubted highlight was a Blue-cheeked Bee-eater. First seen flying towards the lighthouse along the ridge above Pipit Plateau it then returned north and headed towards Kokinoghia where it was relocated sat on wires.
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.
