Description

The mouth of the Cetina river opens into the sea at Omiš. A beautiful setting with the rocks rising directly behind the city. Don't expect spectacular birds or many birds. But if you pass the town it is a nice place for a lunch stop and some relaxed birding around the river mouth. You can walk along both sides of the river mouth where on the eastern side a harbor pier extends a little further into the water. Among the birds you can observe are naurulokki, etelänharmaalokki, mustanmerenlokki, virtavästäräkki, västäräkki, tikli, viherpeippo and sinirastas. Sometimes kallionakkeli can be spotted on the rocks that rise up behind the town. kalliopääsky and alppinaakka can be seen flying in front or above the rocks. In winter sometimes kalliokiipijä is observed on these rocks.
