This is a list of all the species found around lake Kerkini according to the Lake Kerkini Management Authority visitors guide.

If someone knows them better and has another suggestion please let me know.
The common chiffchaff, or simply the chiffchaff, is a common and widespread leaf warbler which breeds in open woodlands throughout northern and temperate Europe and the Palearctic.

It seems to me that Cettia cetti is more brown and dosn't have any yellow like this one has. Posted 10 years ago
But it's most certainly a Phylloscopus, Cetti's warbler is best identified by its greyish cheeks and throat, which clearly stand out from its russet-red back, and its tail, which is cocked most of the time. Posted 8 years ago
