The Axios Delta

On our way towards the Axios Delta and the Kalochori lagoons, we stopped at a service station and a quick poke round soon revealed a splendid area of Serapius orchids.


Serapius or Tongue Orchids are notoriously difficult to identify and records are patchy due to species confusion, so I'll leave it at Serapius sp.

Eastern Bath White. 

Spotted Fritillary.

We then moved on. Arriving at the Kalochori Lagoons, you couldn't miss the city of Thessaloniki, the second largest in Greece. 




A traditional fisherman's cabin...


Great Cormorants and Pygmy Cormorants sat together.

Making use of old fishing boats.....Common Terns.



And wow, what a view of a Stone Curlew!
