Flying with the Flamingos

Naxos island, April 2023
During the spring migration, hundreds of wild birds arrive at the "Aliki" Wildlife Refuge, a wetland located only a few kilometers from Naxos town.
A flock of Flamingos arrived on the 7th of April in the wetland in order to rest and replenish their energy during their long journey to the north.
Naxos and the Cyclades are located on the eastern Mediterranean route of migrating birds and every year, during autumn and spring, when migratory birds fly south-ward and northward respectively, they make a stop on Naxos’s wetlands which are the biggest and richest in the south Aegean sea functioning as a feeding and resting point in their big journey towards or from Africa.
The birds depend on these small, island wetlands which play a vital role in their survival during their migration and it is our duty to protect and respect them...
