Photographer’s Note

Butrint has not only historic value but is also a place with nature interest. From the high places of the site you can see the Lake of Butrint which has an open link to the Ionian Sea. There are many wading birds like the great white Heron, camerons and even Pelicans fishing, while also little fishing boats frequent the lake and set out traps.
Inside the walls tere are turtles swimming in the pools
and you can here the sound of numerous singing birds. There are a lot of places within the site where the walls or other remains are overwhelmed by vegetation (see WS), an ideal place for the nesting of birds.
