A few weeks ago I had visited the wetland at Oropos where I encountered several water birds and to my surprise a Cetti's Warbler that had the courage to show itself to humans.

Cetti's Warbler / Cettia cetti /Ψευταηδόνι

 Water pipit/Anthus spinoletta/Νεροκελάδα


This cormorant was very distant but nonetheless very interesting cause it had caught an eel  which was resisting being eaten with all its might. It took the cormorant about 10 minutes to subdue it and eat it.
 Cormorant /Phalacrocorax aristotelis /Κορμοράνος

Crested lark/Galerda cristata/Κατσουλιέρης

 Reed bunting/ Emberiza schoeniclus/ Καλαμοτσίχλονο

Great egrets/Ardea alba/ Αργυροτσικνιάδες
