Beschreibung
Against the hills, Potamia reservoir is located west of Skala Kallonis, and provides birders with a great spot for wintering waterfowl and migrating waders. When enough water is available, like in winter, the area is used as resting and foraging area by many species of waterbird, like Pfeifente, Stockente, Zwergtaucher and large numbers of Bläßhuhn. Also, small numbers of Schwarzhalstaucher tend to hang around here in autumn and winter.
During spring and autumn migration, parts of the reservoir can be dry, and therefore waders can access the edges of the water too. Scan the edges of the reservoir, and you'll have the chance to observe waders like sandpipers, shanks, stilt and plovers. Gulls tend to hang around and rest in the area as well, and sometimes even Krauskopfpelikan can be observed here.
There's also a track up the hill that can be interesting for typical inland species, like Blaumerle, Weißbart-Grasmücke and Maurensteinschmätzer. Raptors tend to hang around here too, like Schlangenadler and Adlerbussard.
