Reed Buntings have changed plumage but are still found in good numbers in wetlands around Athens, like Vravrona.
A juvenile Black Kite stayed for the winter in the Mesogeia Plain, east of Athens. The bird roosted close to the airport, foraging the adjacent areas of Loutros, Loutsa and Vravrona. A very rare sighting for the Athenians, this was the first wintering record.
