Description

A few kilometers southwest of Agra, the area called Sideras is located, and consists of beautiful hillsides with open rocky terrain, scattered trees and bushes and several (some abandoned) huts. From off the road, you can scan the hillside both up and down the road for typical inland species, like Hrjósturtittlingur, Hlíðatittlingur, Steinspör and sometimes even Glaumgali. Locally, Snákerna and Arnvákur breed here too, and hang around the valley. Small flocks of Berghæna can be seen here as well.

Overhead, Kliðfálki and Eyfálki tend to be seen here more often as well. They use the cliffs and hilltops to scan the area for food.
