In the table below you can see all the species that have ever been recorded in your specified period.

Click on the column headings to sort the results. Click once to sort in ascending order and again to sort in descending order.
Click on a species name to go the website page for the species - this opens in a new window. Close that window to return to this page.
The earliest record is the earliest the species has ever been recorded in Corfu and the year that occurred.
The latest record is the latest the species has ever been recorded in Corfu and the year that occurred
Highlighted dates indicate that the earliest/latest date is within the period you have specified and this may affect the likelihood of you seeing that particular species. You are less likely to see a species if the earliest date recorded is towards the end of your selected period, or if the latest ever record is near to the start of your selected period.
Daily Average in period - this estimated figure should help you understand the chances of seeing a particular species on each day of your chosen period but only on the days that fall within the flight period for the species..
