About your trip

Our 5 day Purely Pelican trips to the Lake Kerkini are usually in January/February timed to coincide with their  breeding season… at this time of year the Pelican's bill pouches turn bright red and their feathers whiten making them look magnificent in the  winter light and stunning to photograph.

We undertake photography by boat, with the objective of capturing as many situations and behaviours as we can.. from individual portraits, group  portraits and ‘in flight’ images both as they glide just inches from the  surface of the water.

The lake itself is situated between two  mountain ranges and at this time of the year their 2000+ metre peaks are usually snow-capped making for a beautiful backdrop to the images we are there to create.
