Description

The area is composed of a mosaic of different habitats, including stony pastures, small valleys, bushlands and small trees. Here is situated one of the Bulgarian Society for the Protection of Birds' vulture feeding station, which attracts Vautour percnoptère, Vautour fauve and often Black Vulture, Aigle impérial, Milan noir, Grand Corbeau and other. Fauvette mélanocéphale, Fauvette passerinette, Hypolaïs des oliviers and Fauvette orphéane inhabit the bushland, on more open areas Traquet isabelle and Traquet oreillard can be seen. This is one of the places where Perdrix choukar occurs.

Accès

On Road 591 you can reach the village of Potochnitsa and from its centre to turn towards East, crossing the village. From the end of Potochnitsa you have to drive on a unpaved road towards the village of Stari Chal. There are several areas to be explored before reaching the little hamlet, after which the road goes uphill. Stop well before the feeding station near the road, to avoid disturbing the scavengers there. Between Potochnitsa and the little hamlet you can see Fauvette orphéane and Hypolaïs des oliviers, Traquet isabelle, Traquet motteux and Traquet oreillard, Pipit rousseline and other. After leaving the car at about 0,5 km before the feeding station, you can explore the bushy area around for Fauvette passerinette, Fauvette mélanocéphale and Hypolaïs des oliviers, to observe scavengers and eventually, Perdrix choukar and other.
