I took these pictures in a recent trip to the North Western part of Macedonia, Greece. Most of the images were taken near the village of Agia Sotira and around the lake of Kastoria on the week of August 4th, 2003. 
Although most of the species seen are fairly common, this was an enjoyable birding trip, as I got to observe these birds for long periods of time. Listed bellow are all of the different species that I photographed. | |
