Description

Just east of Andissa, the Perivolis Monastery is located, and provides a fantastic spot for migrants. Just around the monastery, several large trees are used by many species of migrant and breeding birds. Often, Petit-duc scops can be heard here too.

A small track leads you through the gorge of the Lardia and Voulgaris rivers. This gorge is a great spot for many species, both migrating and breeding. The river is used by waders, ducks, herons, storks and wagtails as foraging area. Carefully walk along the path and check the river with binoculars to find them. The adjacent scrubs, bushes and trees are perfect for migrants, like Gobemouche noir and Loriot d'Europe. Scarcer migrants, like Rossignol progné, tend to be found here more often. One of the few locations on the island to provide habitat for Troglodyte mignon too. The rocky outcrops along the gorge are breeding habitat for (small numbers of) Faucon d'Éléonore and Faucon crécerellette, but mainly Circaète Jean-le-Blanc and Buse féroce can be seen here. The semi open hills are great for Moineau soulcie, Fauvette passerinette and Sittelle de Neumayer.
