Description
Kavaki is located between Molivos and Petra and consists of high cliffs with scrubs and scattered trees overlooking the ocean. The location is known by lots of birders by one species of breeding bird: the Fauvette de Rüppell. Its a typical bird of scrubby areas and can be spotted on top of mainly scrubs and small bushes; especially in spring when maintaining its territory. The road between the two cities has multiple lay-bys from which you can overlook the scrubby areas (see observation points on map).
The Fauvette de Rüppell is not the only species that this location can provide. Other common species, like Traquet oreillard, Bruant cendrillard and Fauvette passerinette, can also be seen very regularly. Another good species for this area is the Fauvette mélanocéphale. They tend to stay in the same habitat and scrubs as the Fauvette de Rüppell.
The rocky areas just next to the steep cliffs are a very good spot for Monticole bleu and Faucon pèlerin. Look for pointy rocks covered in feaces. Often, these species tend to come back to the same rocks.
Just North of the OXY club (see map) a small track up the hill is located. The scrubby area is also a good spot for Fauvette de Rüppell and Fauvette mélanocéphale.
Overlooking the ocean, you can also find flocks of gulls and shearwaters, like Goéland leucophée, Puffin yelkouan and sometimes Puffin cendré. Look for fishing vessels that return to the harbour near Petra. They tend to follow these vessels for a long time!
The cliffs give you also a good overview for migrants, like songbirds and raptors. Buse féroce and Circaète Jean-le-Blanc tend to hang around the area, but most of the time quickly return to the fields east towards Perasma.
