Paxos 14-28 September 2015

Our second trip to Paxos and this time during autumn migration. Birding highlights were:
Large flocks of red-rumped swallows passing through
Smaller flocks of swallows with the occasional house Martin 
Usual resident flocks of twittering alpine swifts.
Migrating honey buzzards with a group of five over antipaxos.
Sightings of hobby on one occasion plus two sightings of Eleonora's Falcon
Sardinian warbler and melodious warblers seen regularly.
Spotted flycatchers seen on several occasions
Hooded Crows daily
Bee eaters heard but not seen again!
Yellow-legged gulls seen daily but few birds at sea 
A shag swimming and diving off manadendri beach
Two birds flew low over Orkos beach which might well have been kingfishers given shape and flight pattern.
A grey heron seen at Gaios
