Descripción
Haghartsin Monastery is good place to combine sightseeing with birdwatching. Here you can find forest species like flycatchers (Papamoscas Gris, Papamoscas Papirrojo, Papamoscas Semiacollarado), tits, finches, woodpeckers and birds of prey (Steppe Buzzard, Gavilán Común, Azor Común). If you stay in the nearby hotel you can encounter Cárabo Común.
This place is on the bottom of a mountain valley, so if you are lucky you can observe Águila Real and Buitre Leonado.
