| Summary: | SUMMARY The results of two expeditions to northeast Greece in May 1960 and 1961 are described together with records of a number of other parties of ornithologists who have recently visited the area. Observations include the first recorded breeding of Spur‐winged Plover Hoplopterus spinosus and Isabelline Wheatear Oenanthe isabellina in Greece, and of the Fan‐tailed Warbler Cisticola juncidis in north Greece; also the first recorded occurrence of Knot Calidris canutus and Spectacled Warbler Sylvia conspicillata in Greece. In the systematic list many discrepancies with previously published data are recorded for this relatively remote and ornithologically little known area of Greece. Observations are made on 111 species out of 219 recorded and on the migration observed. |
