Autumn

You know that the summer is coming to an end when its time to visit Baron's Haugh for waders. It didn't disappoint today with 2 Green Sandpipers, 1 Ruff & 5 Black Tailed Godwit.

Crete

Spent 2 weeks with the family based in Georgioupolis on the western side of Crete. Lovely place, crap hotel.

Very little birding was done, too hot ! 4 Griffon Vultures at the Samaria Gorge was by far the best. Saw a few Red Rumped Swallows, a probable Crested Lark, some probable Black Eared Wheatear and very litte else.
