Description

The Fish Farm was established over 30 years ago to process the brackish water from the nearby water desalination plant. With plenty of fish in the ponds it attracts many waders, and kingfishers and regular visits from Ψαραετός. Among the other birds you can observe are Κήρυλος, (Ευρωπαϊκή) Αλκυόνη, Σταχτοτσικνιάς, Θαλασσοτσικνιάς, (Κοινός) Λευκοτσικνιάς, Striated Heron, (Ξανθός) Κρυπτοτσικνιάς, Σπιτοσπουργίτης, Δεντροφυλλοσκόπος, Καρατζάς, Γελαδάρης, Φοινικοτρύγονο, Nile Valley Sunbird, Ωχροστριτσίδα and Γαλαζολαίμης.
