Descripción
The raptor watchpoint near Kalloni provides a great view over the valley southwards that mainly raptors and storks tend to follow northwards during their spring migration. You need to have a bit of luck, but if you're there during a peak migration event, hundreds and hundreds of raptors and storks can be observed. Common species that can be seen are harriers, like Aguilucho Cenizo and even Aguilucho Papialbo, storks, like Cigüeña Negra and Cigüeña Blanca, Busardo Moro, Steppe Buzzard, Culebrera Europea, Abejero Europeo, Gavilán Griego, Azor Común, Alcotán Europeo, Cernícalo Patirrojo, Halcón de Eleonora, Cernícalo Primilla and Halcón Peregrino. Scarcer species can sometimes be seen within flocks of other raptors, like Águila Pomerana, Águila perdicera, Águila calzada and Águila Imperial Oriental.
The area surrounding the viewpoint is also good for typical inland species, like Roquero Solitario, Collalba Rubia and Escribano Ceniciento.
