Description

Photography boat trip (birds and landscape), Greece

(availability upon request)

The diversity of habitats and ease of access all around the lake make Kerkini a photographer’s dream. As the year begins woodpeckers including Black, Syrian, Middle-Spotted and Grey-headed are most easily found and Dalmatian Pelicans look their best with bright red beaks and ruffled ‘hairstyles’ offering unparalleled opportunities for both flight and close-up work from Nikos’ boat. White Pelicans, in contrast, look their best in April and May when Bee-eaters, shrikes and Golden Orioles are everywhere and there’s also a good chance of obliging Red-footed Falcons on passage.

During late May and June Little Bitterns can be easily approached as they hunt tadpoles and small fish, Lesser Spotted, Golden, Booted and Short-toed Eagles are regular as are Black Kite and Levant Sparrowhawk. The diversity of habitat offers the chance for a rich photo portfolio including not only lake and woodland birds but also birds of the high mountains including Water Pipit, Alpine Chough, Alpine Accentor, Rock Thrush and Horned Lark.

Kerkini Lake

At the northwest part of Serres County, just 40km from the city of Serres, and approximately 100km from Thessaloniki, we meet one of the most beautiful places of Greece, Lake Kerkini and the unique wetland – it has been voted as National Park according to the International Ramsar Convention, one of the 10 wetlands of International Importance in Greece. 

Human intervention created this heaven. At 1932 the first dam at the waters of Strimonas River was constructed and gradually Lake Kerkini was formed. Read more about the history of Lake Kerkini.

The coastal vegetation with riparian forests with wild willows, the floating lily pads in an area of thousands of acres, the great fish variety, the buffaloes that swim in the serene lake waters, but also the wonderful horizon formed by the mountains of mount Belles and Krousion, make this land extremely attractive. The lake offers unique observation conditions for birds. Today it is one of Europe’s best places for natural observation of almost 300 rare and protected species that live and reproduce here. It is not a coincidence that scientists and amateurs from all over the world visit us every year to carry out their researches.
