Every spring, we return to the beautiful island of Lesvos for one of the most exciting birding adventures in the Mediterranean. This year’s trip was another unforgettable experience:
5 days of birdwatching, photography, migration magic, and incredible landscapes.

Cinereous Bunting. Lesvos is the only region in Europe
that this species is breeding
Olive-tree Warbler is one of the most wanted species
From wetlands and olive groves to mountain slopes and coastal habitats, we recorded more than 130 bird species, including stunning migrants, raptors, herons, bee-eaters, warblers, and many more.
Beyond the birds, Lesvos offered everything we love about Greece:
local food, traditional villages, warm hospitality, endless photography opportunities, and moments that simply cannot be planned.

Thank you to everyone who joined us this year and shared this experience with us.
