Beschreibung
The Skala Kallonis pool was once one of the main attractions for birders on the island of Lesvos. Due to its location and wet habitat, the area is great for migrating species, and is also used as breeding area for many breeding species. There are two situations you can come accross:
Wet: especially during a wet winter or spring, this area can hold up a lot of water during the beginning of the breeding season. Species like Zwergdommel, Rallenreiher and Wasserralle breed here. The area is great for observering marsh terns, herons, swallows and martins, and lots of waterfowl, like Rostgans and Knäkente. The reedbeds are great for many species of reedbird, like Drosselrohrsänger and Blaßspötter.
Dry: due to bad management, the area can be mostly dry during the start of the breeding season. The reedbeds are still good for some typical reedbirds, but overall the amount of birds is far less, compared to a wet situation.
Somewhere in the area, Schleiereule breeds here too, and can sometimes be seen hunting in the fields surrounding the area.

The area is very small and surrounded by roads, so it can be easily observed from these roads.
