Description

If you are traveling by bus or train and happen to be passing through Vanadzor, the area around the bus station (which also houses the railway station) is quite a good place for birdwatching. Within a 200-meter radius from the bus station, there is a small park, and along the railway line, various meadow and field birds nest and feed. Behind the railway tracks, there is an empty lot and a small swampy area. Additionally, swallows nest on the bus station building itself.
