Lesvos  >  Greece

Although sometimes very touristy, the Vergias river is a great spot to look for migrants during spring migration.

Description

The Vergias river, also known as the Chalandra river, leads from the sea all the way towards the dam at Pithariou reservoir. Like many other rivers facing southwest on the island, migrants tend to follow the riverbed further inland. Along the route, you can scan (scattered) bushes and trees for migrants, like flycatchers and warblers. Scan wires and fences for chats and shrikes, like Pie-grièche à poitrine rose and Tarier pâtre. Overhead, lots of migrants, like herons, storks, swifts, Guêpier d'Europe and raptors can be seen, flying inland.

On the beach and the adjacent fields, migrants can be seen resting when they finally arrived on the island; especially early in the morning. Species like Caille des blés and Oedicnème criard have been seen here too.

Just near the beach, a bridge crosses the river from which you can observe the river for herons and waders, like Blongios nain, Chevalier culblanc, Bécasseau de Temminck, Bécasseau minute, Crabier chevelu and Tadorne casarca. In the surrounding bushes, species like Bouscarle de Cetti and Moineau espagnol can be found.

Over sea, flocks of Puffin yelkouan can be seen, and sometimes Puffin de Scopoli are mixed with these flocks.
