Description
Just east of Andissa, the Perivolis Monastery is located, and provides a fantastic spot for migrants. Just around the monastery, several large trees are used by many species of migrant and breeding birds. Often, (Ευρωπαϊκός) Γκιώνης can be heard here too.
A small track leads you through the gorge of the Lardia and Voulgaris rivers. This gorge is a great spot for many species, both migrating and breeding. The river is used by waders, ducks, herons, storks and wagtails as foraging area. Carefully walk along the path and check the river with binoculars to find them. The adjacent scrubs, bushes and trees are perfect for migrants, like Μαυρομυγοχάφτης and (Ευρωπαϊκός) Συκοφάγος. Scarcer migrants, like Τσιχλαηδόνι, tend to be found here more often. One of the few locations on the island to provide habitat for Τρυποφράχτης too. The rocky outcrops along the gorge are breeding habitat for (small numbers of) Μαυροπετρίτης and (Ευρωπαϊκό) Κιρκινέζι, but mainly Φιδαετός and Αετογερακίνα can be seen here. The semi open hills are great for Πετροσπουργίτης, Μαυροφτέρι and (Δυτικός) Βραχοτσοπανάκος.
