As part of an ongoing marking programme by Lefteris Kakalis, birds have been ringed with a standard metal ring on the right leg and two coloured rings on their left legs. If you see any marked birds please submit your sightings inc. date, time and detailed location.

All other records
All other records, especially of birds away from the well-watched Achladeri breeding site are welcome. Please provide date, detailed location, number of birds, activity (e.g. singing, feeding, at potential nest, feeding young, etc),

You can send all records via Lesvos Birding to lesvosbirding(at)toadsnatcher.com.
