Description
The road towards the Petrified Forest is definitely worth driving slowly, and it is advised to stop and scan often. The slopes on both sides of the road provide great breeding habitat for species, like Αμμοπετρόκλης, (Δυτικός) Βραχοτσοπανάκος, Ασπροκωλίνα, Φρυγανοτσίχλονο and Νησιώτικη Πέρδικα. The hilltops are used by flocks of Μαυροπετρίτης and (Ευρωπαϊκό) Κιρκινέζι, and are often mixed with migrating species, like (Ευρωπαϊκό) Μαυροκιρκίνεζο.
Next to the road, several pools are present which are used by livestock to drink. Both local breeding birds and migrating species come down here for a drink, so taking your time next to a pool, and having some lunch is a great idea.
