MAY 4TH - DAY 8 OF LESVOS 7-DAY TOUR

ACHLADERIA BEACH POOLS - TSIKNIAS RIVER

Our very last outing of the trip was a bit disappointing really, we made a very early start as we set for at 6am from the hotel. The weather was, as usual, lovely, clear sky and a nice temperature. We drove to the seasonal pools near Achladeri where we were yesterday, it was another attempt to see the Great Snipe that had been seen by others last night. We failed to see it but enjoyed watching the antics of the Wood Sandpipers as they sorted out the 'pecking order' when feeding on the exposed mud. We saw Ruff. Common Whitethroat, Black headed Bunting, Ruddy and Common Shelduck and a variety of herons and egrets as we passed other marshes during the journey. At 8am we gave up and set off back to the hotel. We took the route along the Tsiknias river in the hope of finding something new but that didn't happen either.

Our last birding memory will be of the Tsiknias river mouth with Little Ringed Plovers, Squacco Herons, Yellow-legged Gulls and Common Terns.

The trip was over!! All that was left was breakfast and a two hour break for packing and traveling to the airport. All the group agreed that despite the hot weather we had had a wonderful Holiday and will take home some happy memories.
