Description

The road towards Makara is a great route to search for many typical inland breeding species that inhabit the drier parts of the island, like Csukár, Déli hantmadár and kövi csuszka. The rocky outcrops are a great spot for Kék kövirigó and Rozsdás sármány. The small scattered bushes are good for migrating rozsdás csuk, Hantmadár and cigánycsuk.

Further down the road, the road lies adjacent to a shallow valley with scattered trees, and several small groves. These areas are great for migrants, like Gyurgyalag, Búbos banka, shrikes, warblers, swallows, swifts and flycatchers.
