Descripción

The area is composed of a mosaic of different habitats, including stony pastures, small valleys, bushlands and small trees. Here is situated one of the Bulgarian Society for the Protection of Birds' vulture feeding station, which attracts Alimoche Común, Buitre Leonado and often Black Vulture, Águila Imperial Oriental, Milano Negro, Cuervo Grande and other. Curruca Cabecinegra, Curruca Carrasqueña, Zarcero Grande and Curruca mirlona oriental inhabit the bushland, on more open areas Collalba Isabel and Collalba Rubia can be seen. This is one of the places where Perdiz chúcar occurs.

Accesso

On Road 591 you can reach the village of Potochnitsa and from its centre to turn towards East, crossing the village. From the end of Potochnitsa you have to drive on a unpaved road towards the village of Stari Chal. There are several areas to be explored before reaching the little hamlet, after which the road goes uphill. Stop well before the feeding station near the road, to avoid disturbing the scavengers there. Between Potochnitsa and the little hamlet you can see Curruca mirlona oriental and Zarcero Grande, Collalba Isabel, Collalba Gris and Collalba Rubia, Bisbita Campestre and other. After leaving the car at about 0,5 km before the feeding station, you can explore the bushy area around for Curruca Carrasqueña, Curruca Cabecinegra and Zarcero Grande, to observe scavengers and eventually, Perdiz chúcar and other.
