Birding tour in Athens: Jan 21st 2023
On January 21st 2023 we organized a bird tour around Athens for a couple of american birders. Here are some photos, taken by S.Wight, from our visit at Oropos Lagoon, Rafina River Mouth, Artemis Lagoon and Hymettus Mt.

The highlight of the day: a flock of Golden Plovers
at Rafina river mouth, first record for the area!
