Table 1. Number of raptors observed on Antikythira, southern Greece, during spring migration in 2007 and 2008, and autumn migration in 2007–09. In cases

possible but birds could be accurately aged, the total number of adult and juvenile birds are given separately. Observation periods were 25th April to 15th May
2007; 16th April to 14th May 2008; 24th August to 20th September 2007; 21st August to 20th September 2008; and 4th September to 20th October 2009.
