Lake Kerkini is the birder's paradise. May is the best time of the year to enjoy so many colorful species. Here's are some photos from the avifauna of the area, that we encountered during our 2024 multiday trip. We also added photos from species we saw during our brief visit at Kalochori Lagoon and Axios Delta in Thessaloniki.
