2008 was a highly succesful year with several tours to all
of our destinations. Apart from our regular tours, one of
our most memorable expedition was a 4WD Albania-Kosovo-exploratory
in search of Lammergeiers, tought to be extinct from the area.
Unfortunatelly we did'n find any sign of their presence, but
we discovered the largest Eastern European roosting site of
appr. 3000 Lesser Kestrel, which is a globally threatened
species. We also enjoyed mega-view of several Rock Partridges
and we did find several rare butterflies, incl. Escher's and
Damon Blues.
Lang's Short-tailed Blue - speciality of the warm coastal
areas and hillsides.
Part of the Lesser Kestrel roost. Unfortunatelly we had
a severe rain during this encounter, but still a great view
since the site is just in front of our hotel' windows.
The sky was just full with them. It was the most surprising
discovery of our 4x4 tour.
