Στις 31/08 επισκέφτηκα πάλι την περιοχή των εκβολών του Γαλλικού και το δέλτα του Αξιού . Στο δέλτα παρατήρησα προς μεγάλη μου έκπληξη έναν κόκκινο φαλαρόποδα με χειμερινό ήδη φτέρωμα.Αν κοιτάξει κανείς το φτέρωμά του μπορεί να διακρίνει το εναπομείναν κόκκινο χρώμα που δικαιολογεί την ονομασία του.
The Phalaropes became the center of attention in this autumn migration.In the middle of August Lila informed me that at Volvi lake were observed a Red-necked phalarope..On 23/08, then visited Volvi and I was lucky. So I observed and photographed a bird that I saw for the first time. Three days later I observed in the lagoon of Kalochori two young Red-necked Phalaropes. As they fed at the center of the lagoon they did not give me good opportunities for nice pictures.
On August 31st I went back to the estuary of Gallikos and the delta of Axios.At Delta I observed ,to my surprise, a Grey Phalarope in winter plumage already .If you take a look at the feathers you can see the remaining red color that justifies its name in greek.
