This is a red-footed falcon video.
After the morning of 9 May on Lesbos, the afternoon.
Like on 5 May, to the salt pans.
Again, avocets and black-winged stilts. An avocet chick.
Pale (juvenile) and pink (adult) greater flamingos.
Flying little egrets and black storks.
A ringed plover.
A male and a female red-footed falcon, sitting together on a telephone pole. The male is cleaning its feathers. At first, it sits to the right of the female; then, to the left.
Two turnstones and ruffs on a dike.
A little tern sitting on a rock.
Shelducks.
Little stints, where there were Temminck’s stints last time. A common sandpiper.
At the glossy ibis marsh, a collared pratincole in the grass.
A coot in the water. It is the first one we have seen; this species is rare in Lesbos.
Wood sandpipers.
A squacco heron standing between the common spike-rush.
A mallard. Again a first for us on Lesbos, as this species is rare here.
Dark spreadwing damselflies flying around.
A whinchat sitting on a fence.
