Description
Lake Volvi is the second largest lake in Greece and is 19 km long. Nice place for birding on the lakeshore of Lake Volvi is the Modi River Mouth. I spent 5 days there. As a rule, I was completely alone. The rare visitors usually only came for a few minutes. Photographing pelicans requires a bit of luck, as they often change their location on the large lake. A swarm of (Ευρωπαϊκός) Μελισσοφάγος was passing through. (Ξανθός) Κρυπτοτσικνιάς are very present there and can be easily photographed from a short distance. Among the other birds that can be observed are Λευκός Πελαργός, Σκουφοβουτηχτάρι, (Κοινός) Νυχτοκόρακας, (Κοινός) Λευκοτσικνιάς, (Ευρωπαϊκη) Βαλτόπαπια, Λαγγόνα and Καλαμόκιρκος.
