A special event!
Sometimes we are just in the right place at the right time! About 9.00 am greek time, on 5th december 2008, this is what happened and we were quite unprepared for it. For the first time I wished I'd had a proper video camera.
Like a tide, the flocks ebbed and flowed for about two hours, as more birds flew to join the migration. Six Hawks hovered overhead but we did not see them swoop to catch any of the birds.
before they left, the birds rested briefly on bamboos and trees where we stood; then they were gone! We believe they were swifts.
