Description
In spring and fall, Anse du Galon d'Or is a good spot for Ψαραετός. On the way to the beach through the forest you can hear Βουνοφυλλοσκόπος and Λοφιοπαπαδίτσα. In the reeds, you can observe (Ευρωπαϊκή) Κιστικόλη and (Ευρωπαϊκή) Νεροκοτσέλα. Ωχροκελάδα and Θαλασσοσφυριχτής are breeding in the coastsal dunes. It is therefore important to stay on the trails. In the marshland, with a bit of luck, you may see Ρεικοτσιροβάκος and during migration species such as Καστανολαίμης and Σταχτοπετρόκλης looking for food.
In the neighboring pine trees, Μαυρομυγοχάφτης and Σταχτομυγοχάφτης hunt during autumn migration, as well as (Κοινός) Φοινίκουρος, Θαμνοφυλλοσκόπος and other species. At high tide, gulls, terns and groups of limicoles come onto the beach. Note that you have to take a different route along the inside of the bay at high tide. See a link to the tide table below.
