Descripción
From a birding point of view the Agia (or Ayia) Reservoir is undoubtedly the best wetland on Crete. The large areas of open water, extensive reedbeds and surrounding scrubland attract many species of interest during the breeding season and on migratory passage, like Polluela Chica, Polluela Bastarda, Polluela Pintoja, Avetoro Común, Avetorillo común, Garza Imperial, Martinete Común, Abejero Europeo, Busardo ratonero, Aguilucho Lagunero Occidental to mention a few.

SíInformación extra
There are two Cafe's on the lake with great views where you can get a meal and refreshments. Aviod visiting on Sundays, this place is very popular with locals walking. While Spring and Autumn are the best times of the year for observing the migrants, there are birds at Agia Lake all year round. It's an excellent wetland site notable for both breeding birds and migrants. Dense reeds and trees around parts of the lake provide cover for breeding birds and shy species such as Bitterns. Many birds overwinter here. It is an important site for the threatened Porrón Pardo. Over 200 bird species have been recorded.
