Description
Dilijan City Park is situated between deciduous forest and the artificial riverbed of the Agstev river. Inside the park conifers, deciduous trees, bushes and lawns alternate. There is also a small pond inside the park.
You can find forest species like Blackbird, Wren, Eurasian Treecreeper, tits and woodpeckers all year round. Conifere trees are a good place for wintering Goldcrest. Non-freezing river attracts White-throated Dipper in winter and Common Kingfisher, Grey Wagtail and Cetti's Warbler in summer.
In spring and summer flycatchers nest here, like Semicollared Flycatcher or Red-breasted Flycatcher. During spring and autumn migration you can observe flocks of Grey Heron and encounter uncommon species like Little Grebe, Cattle Egret and even Greater Flamingo.
