Descripción

The road between Efthalou and Skala Sikaminias is a rough dirt road which leads through small valleys and next to steep cliffs while having a great view over the sea strait between Lesvos and Turkey. The valleys are great during migration: many birds, especially during autumn migration, tend to rest in these valleys and bushes can be packed with songbirds, like Curruca Gavilana, Mosquitero Silbador and Escribano Hortelano. Other migrants, like Oropéndola Europea and large flocks of Abejaruco Europeo, are very common. Local breeding species can be found here too, like Curruca Carrasqueña, Curruca mirlona oriental and Carbonero Lúgubre. Many shrikes and buntings, like Escribano Ceniciento and Alcaudón Común, can be seen on the more drier areas. Perdiz chúcar can be seen and heard too.

The shores are great for gulls, like large flocks of resting Gaviota Patiamarilla. Within these flocks, mostly indiviual, Gaviota de Audouin can be found.

The road is also great for observing crossing daytime migrants, like raptors, coming from Turkey. Offshore, flocks of Pardela Mediterránea and small numbers of Pardela cenicienta mediterránea can be seen. If you're lucky, Bottlenosed Dolpins show up.
