Birding in Thrace
Greece's wild north-east: the Evros Delta wetlands and the vulture forest of Dadia.
Best season: April to June, and winter for geese and eagles
The Evros Delta on the Turkish border is one of the most important wetlands in Greece, with waders, pelicans and wintering geese and eagles.
Inland, the Dadia–Lefkimi–Soufli Forest National Park is one of the last strongholds of Cinereous Vulture in the Balkans, with a remarkable variety of other raptors.
