Pelicans - Lake Kerkini - north east Greece

To find pelicans in Europe you have to travel to its eastern fringes. Lake Kerkini, in north east Greece, is one of the most accessible sites as it is easy to reach from Thessaloniki which has an international airport served by BA among others, with direct flights from Gatwick.

To get close to the birds there are boat trips available....

Watch out for more posts in due course, as I process more of the 4000 shots I took! A full trip report will appear on my website in due course as well.
