Going home day. The usual packing and repacking, eating
breakfast, repeating the first two tasks and then after fond farewells a last
bump through Loutzaria to the Saltpans. It was still rather quiet but there
were a few Red-backed Shrikes, Spotted Flycatchers and Willow Warblers to act
as an appropriate Lesvos send off before waving at the Flamingos shining in the
morning light.

| Spotted Flycatcher |

| Willow Warbler - these three species are the triumvirate of Lesvos passage passerines |
Mytilini only had one extra diversion but we wended our way
through ok before a trouble free flight bar an interesting bit of 'jerk to one
side turbulence' when we moved through the wash of the descending plane in
front! the view over the Suffolk coast was magnificent as we came in just south of the River Alde.
Every year and every visit to Lesvos is different and there
is always something to cause wonderment- it never disappoints.
