Volunteering in Agras – Vritta – Nisi Wetland

The nature is turning mad ! After the changes of colors for some species to adapt for the winter one month ago, I notice this week that the Podiceps Cristatus started to change his white dress for a brown one. In no time, it will put his orange and funny hat for the seduction period. […]

First raining day since a long time… The perfect moment for me to talk to you about those last two weeks ! With the other volunteers we had the opportunity to completely clean our observatory point of Saint George Island. We spent a long time making it seems like it was new, and we succeed […]

So…………after 4 months of my EVS being spent in Gialova I am now here in Vrita, a place of many contrasts but of equal beauty! The Gialova project was an amazing experience which gave me many great memories that i will never forget.  4 months spent camping near the beach, a sea to swim in […]

The other day I had to do “birdmonitoring” alone. Normally it is not like this and it is good to do accompanied. Other people may see or hear something that you don’t see or hear in that moment. And of course, it is more pleasant. By other side because of you don’t talk with anybody […]

Winter will be finished soon. After 2 months we were watching always the same species of water birds, we have seen yesterday (March 13th) two new species: – Garganey (Anas querquedula) – Green sandpiper (Tringa ochropus)   I think that spring will be very interesting… Probably sometimes it will be more difficult for species determination!
