Description
Limni Keri Bitumen Wells and Lake is a beautiful small marsh area situated along the coast of Limni Kiri. You can easily park your car and look out over the sea for a moment. When you start with a loop around the wetland during spring, you will immediately hear and see all sorts of birds. You will hear Τσιχλοποταμίδα singing right away, and you will encounter them scattered throughout the entire loop. In the shallow areas, waders such as Σταχτιά Νανοσκαλίδρα, Δρεπανοσκαλίδρα, (Κοινή) Νανοσκαλίδρα and Ακτίτης forage. You will also see (Ξανθός) Κρυπτοτσικνιάς scattered throughout the area, and if you look closely, (Ευρωπαϊκός) Μικροτσικνιάς. Wagtails also forage at the edges. I spotted a Κιτρινοσουσουράδα and my first Black-headed wagtail. But be sure to keep an eye on the surroundings as well, because I saw (Ευρωπαϊκός) Συκοφάγος and (Κοινός) Κόρακας flying around. Καστανολαίμης was also present everywhere in the area.
