The area is composed of a mosaic of different habitats, including stony pastures, small valleys, bushlands and small trees. Here is situated one of the Bulgarian Society for the Protection of Birds' vulture feeding station, which attracts Capovaccaio, Grifone and often Black Vulture, Aquila imperiale, Nibbio bruno, Corvo imperiale and other. Occhiocotto, Sterpazzolina, Canapino levantino and Bigia grossa orientale inhabit the bushland, on more open areas Culbianco isabellino and Monachella can be seen.

Dettagli

Accesso

On Road 591 you can reach the village of Potochnitsa and from its centre to turn towards East, crossing the village. From the end of Potochnitsa you have to drive on a unpaved road towards the village of Stari Chal. There are several areas to be explored before reaching the little hamlet, after which the road goes uphill. Stop well before the feeding station near the road, to avoid disturbing the scavengers there. Between Potochnitsa and the little hamlet you can see Bigia grossa orientale and Canapino levantino, Culbianco isabellino, Culbianco and Monachella, Calandro and other. After leaving the car at about 0,5 km before the feeding station, you can explore the bushy area around for Sterpazzolina, Occhiocotto and Canapino levantino, to observe scavengers and eventually, Coturnice orientale and other.
