Description
Moustas Wetlands is a wetland system consisting of two lakes, Lake Moustos and a smaller, Lake Cherronissos. It is located in the center of the bay of Astros, behind the sandy beach. The lake Moustos has a maximum depth 5 meters and communicates with the sea by two artificial channels. The Cherronissos Lake is formed by the waters of the spring that flows from the edge of the hill to the east and goes directly into the sea. The area is a refuge for a significant population of migratory birds that overwinter. In its dense reeds nest Keldusvín and Rauðhegri. Among the other birds you can encounter are Háleggur, Skeiðönd, Urtönd, Dverggoði, Trjástelkur, Brúnheiðir, Pungmeisa, Hjálmsöngvari and Blæsöngvari.
