Corfu is an island known for its diverse flora and fauna.
It's where the young naturalist Gerald Durrell learned his trade. He wrote about it in the Corfu Trilogy, the most famous book of which is
My Family and Other Animals.
This rich diversity is everywhere you look. You just need to keep your ears and eyes open. One person who does this all the time is photographer
Giannis Gasteratos, who has given me permission to reproduce his pictures on my blog. This is Giannis:
And these are some of his photos:

Stunning.
That's about it.
