As August wraps up, fall migration kicks into gear! Over in the Spata fields on the outskirts of Athens, you can catch sight of Spotted Flycatchers, Red-Backed Shrikes, and Woodchat Shrikes making their journey south. They’re joined by Willow warblers, eastern Subalpine warblers, and Great Whitethroats, all part of this spectacular show.
