Descrizione
Dilijan City Park is situated between deciduous forest and the artificial riverbed of the Agstev river. Inside the park conifers, deciduous trees, bushes and lawns alternate. There is also a small pond inside the park.
You can find forest species like Merlo, Scricciolo, Rampichino alpestre, tits and woodpeckers all year round. Conifere trees are a good place for wintering Regolo. Non-freezing river attracts Merlo acquaiolo in winter and Martin pescatore, Ballerina gialla and Usignolo di fiume in summer.
In spring and summer flycatchers nest here, like Balia caucasica or Pigliamosche pettirosso. During spring and autumn migration you can observe flocks of Airone cenerino and encounter uncommon species like Tuffetto, Airone guardabuoi and even Fenicottero.
