Taverna Dionysos - a new Skala Kallonis village hub for birders
Since so many birders use the Dionysos taverna in Skala Kallonis, I decided to place a new Lesvos Birding log there this spring. The new log was well used and will be retained there until the end of September. Thanks to all who contributed this spring and I hope many others got value out of having a log in the village for the first time.
The main Lesvos Birding log at the Hotel Pasiphae is of course still in situ too and will remain there until the end of September also (when both logs get sent to me for the annual report).
Above is the new 'birds of Lesvos' poster requested by the Dionysos Taverna to coincide with them hosting the new log book. The poster measures 2.4m x 1.4m, features a selection of Dave's photos taken in 2011, and all the text is in both English and Greek. And yours truly had to negotiate London underground and airports with it rolled up as a 2.6m long tube with all my other luggage! George and Stamatis (owners of the Dionysos) are thrilled with it, and enjoy being a focal point for birders in spring.
The Dionysos will remain Lesvos Birding's village hub for birders from 2013.

Spring 2010 daily updates
As in recent years I will post daily updates of what is seen across the island each evening here on Lesvos Birding. I know many staying on the island, and more so those due to come out, find these updates both interesting and very useful.
My own daily updates from the island will commence on 20 Apr (through to 12 May), but I rely on people passing on their own sightings to produce the daily summaries. I aim to have the website updated between 11-12pm each evening (local time). If you are on the island earlier or later than me, then I need your records all the more!
I (and other birders) should be around the Hotel Pasiphae bar most evenings from around 10-10.30pm to c.11.30pm for a drink and chat. Failing that I can usually be found at the Dionysos taverna in Skala Kallonis between 8-10pm.

Last year quite a lot of folk contributed to these updates. If you're on the island then you can provide your own records of more interesting sightings as follows -
LESVOS BIRDING LOG at the Hotel Pasiphae, Skala Kallonis
LESVOS BIRDING LOG at the Hotel Pasiphae, Skala Kallonis
This is the main birding log on the island and anyone can call into the hotel to read/record their sightings and maybe enjoy a drink too! Please inc. your name and email address or mobile number on at least one of your entries in order for me to contact you if I need to.
Everything passed on to me during the day will be added to log.

SMS/TEXT
Text me your daily summary on +44 (0) 7 767 787 287. Please inc. your name at the end of the message. Species, numbers, location is really all that is needed. Times for really rare species (e.g. time of a flyover rare raptor helps to track birds across the island) might be useful (please no calls as this just costs me a fortune!).
EMAIL
You can email me your sightings. I'll be updating late evening, so anything arriving in my inbox by 10pm local time will be used.
What info should you include?
Records of all the scarcer and rare species (see checklist), movements of any raptors or herons, large numbers of crakes, large falls of commoner species, etc. are all wanted. Updates on breeding activity of Krupers Nuthatch are also helpful.

Submitting your records for the annual bird report when you've returned home
I know many people keep their own database of records. If you are able to export to an Excel file, then I'm happy to receive any records you want to pass on for inclusion in the Lesvos annual bird report. For further details see here.
2009 Lesvos Bird Report
As previously announced, I will compile a report for 2009 of the more interesting records.
If you have any records (see below) or photographs, please contact me. If you have a detailed trip report please feel free to send me a copy by email or a link to your online report.
I will produce an online version of the report here on Lesvos Birding as well as a PDF for those who want to receive a copy to file.
