Yes, holiday areas tend to be geared up to the summer sun and booze holiday culture whereas they could easily attract many people in the spring and autumn. The situation seems to be improving in Greece and France but not a lot!
Looking forward to the list - this is the sort of thing that could be very useful to people planning their hols.

Since the island is 'virtually closing down for the winter' I feel there's opportunites missed by not promoting the wildlife more.
I'll give a brief description of flowers, plants etc. seen - in future - if I can find their names! Tinkerbell
