Let me know if you’d like directions Jo. I found the knotgrass and Carex extensa in good numbers today (saw them back in the summer too) but couldn’t find C.distans

After a fair bit of searching we did manage to find Starred Agama in a couple of places on Lesvos. One of the things I particularly wanted to see.
