• The bird's the word at Lake Skadar

    11. oktober 2025, Montenegro ⋅ ⛅ 14 °C

    Today we took a boat trip from Rijeka Crnojevica, through the tributaries out to Lake Skadar and back up the 'Amazon' to Karuc. It's the largest lake in Southern Europe, two thirds in Montenegro and a third in Albania - you can see the Albanian mountains on the horizon. I was hoping to see some birds and I wasn't disappointed, if a little slow at capturing them for photos! We saw lots of cormorants, herons, egrets, marsh harriers & a few goats and I loved the amount of lily pads ❤️ We arrived back at the campsite before dark for a change and made the most of the lovely location by the river, as did the mosquitoes on us 😟 We were joined by the campsite dog and I was chuffed to see my very first kingfisher, though ironic to see it at the campsite rather than Lake Skadar 😄Læs mere
