Description
Sneum Lake is one of only a few larger, coastal lakes in the region and in the spring, summer and autumn, it is home for scarce species like (Ευρασιατική) Χουλιαρομύτα, Μαυροκέφαλος Γλάρος and Γαλαζολαίμης, and a mix of waterbirds that varies during the year. The lake attracts great numbers of birds and the list include vagrants such as Baikal Teal, Μαυρόφτερο Νεροχελίδονο, Λευκόστιχτος Γλάρος. The lake is always woths checking out.
The sea-side always hosts a great number of birds, year-round. In the winter, the tidal flats and salty marshland hosts several species of waders, ducks and gull that concentrate in the coastal bend, with spectacular numbers of Ψαλίδα (του Βορά). In the spring, the area host large numbers of arctic waders, including many thousand Κοκκινοσκαλίδρα. In the summer, the number of birds decrease and focus species include breeding Μαυροβουτηχτάρι, Μαυροκέφαλος Γλάρος and Γαλαζολαίμης. In the late summer and autumn the scene changes and the area become home for yet again high numbers of geese, ducks, arctic waders and different passerines and hotspot for e.g. (Ευρασιατική) Χουλιαρομύτα with flock over 300 strong, yearly Ερυθρόλαιμος Φαλαρόποδας and Μαυρογλάρονο and regular surprises.
