For this year’s easter I was lucky enough to spend a few days in the beautiful Rodopi mountains where we also stumbled upon a village feast to celebrate the completion of a recent hotel (more like a small house, thankfully) so 3 villages were gathered together to eat, drink and make merry!
This was my first outing to the Greek-side Struma reservoir of Kirkini known for its large population of Pink and Dalmatian pelicans, Great Blue and Small White herons and a lot of other curious inhabitants.
Not having done much bird photography, we were of course quite pathetic on the first day and scared off half the lake’s population.
Wisened up on the second day we ‘borrowed’ an old wooden boat and rowed into a swampy forest where we got pretty close and shot a lot of keepers
