Spring bird migration has begun: many different species cross the Mediterranean, after having spent all winter in Africa, in order to reach Europe and nest there. To date, 23 different species have been recorded by the Kalloni Enviromantal Information Center on our island. Among them all the species of swallows that we encounter in Greece!
