Description
The road between Mavria and Platania is a great road to stop and drive along, and to observe many local breeding species, like Ólífusöngvari, Þýðsöngvari and Kampasöngvari. The small houses and farms a worth a check for Kattugla, and the scattered trees are perfect for Trjálævirki. The scrubs and bushes are great for many species of shrike, like Trjásvarri and Grímusvarri. The rocky outcrops are great for Steinigða and Hrjósturtittlingur.
During migration, the area is worth to check for species like Bláhrani, Býsvelgur and Laufglói. Raptors are always present, and tend to hang around the hill tops, like Arnvákur.
