Descripción
The shallow river Tsiknias flows to the sea east of Skala Kallonis. It is one of the larger rivers on Lesvos and a major migration corridor. Its mouth attracts waders, gulls and terns. Egrets, herons and storks and many songbirds can be found along its length and in the surrounding fields. Among the birds that you can encounter in the area are Abejaruco Europeo (they breed in the sandy river banks), Ruiseñor Común, Escribano Cabecinegro, Abubilla común, Tarro Canelo, Tarro Blanco, Cerceta Carretona, Cigüeñuela común, Chorlitejo patinegro, Chorlitejo Chico, Zarapito Real, Andarríos Chico, Archibebe Claro, Charrancito Común, Fumarel Cariblanco, Fumarel Aliblanco, Charrán Común, Charrán Patinegro, Cigüeña Negra and many more.
