As I previously mentioned I will not be able to post photos until I get back from Corfu on 23rd May. However after 9 days of field work I have been able to observe the majority of species found on my favorite island. I am still here for a week but I will be working with the Durrell School of Corfu, so here is a list of what I have seen during my 9 days of searching:
