Living in the fields



A photo is a thousand words ...Better no to try to describe ...or to tell you stories about how my family got this little house and what happened 32 years before, when a strong earthquacke hit Thessaloniki and we had to live outside for several months ...In any case this area in fact was cultivated land of cereals for long ...later in some fields was built summer houses ...Our little property is only 10X10 m ...












In the east there is a nice house with a great garden, the only neighbour who lives there during all the year. North east there is a long field with corns.














Northwest another field just now with destroyed wheat (maybe from a heavy rain). Here an attempt to harvest it but failed...















South is just uncultivated land with a lot of scattered trees most of them olive and almond trees ...















The private road that leads to the house around 100 m long,  cross this uncultivated land from one side, while on the other side there is a nice olive groove ...













There are a lot of habitats for birds to breed and live around ...Unfortunatelly I have never visited this area in other seasons ..so I don't know what species live all the year or stay during the winter around ...
But every year the same birds nest into our little property and around, mostly in the olive groove







I'm not a photographer and with a simple power shot camera it is difficult to take photos of little birds ...but I tried ...There are so many wires and cables around and they love to prerch on them ...The first 10 days I have seen or heard 23 species ..while two more is still unindentified ...11 of them was shot by me at last ...Enjoy ...










The beach isn't too away but for this you need to wait a little ...I can't do all together ...:))

More tomorrow !!!!
