Descrizione
Lake Kerkini is a fresh water lake, fed by the Strymon River and is about fifteen kilometres long and nine kilometres across. The lake and the surrounding wetlands are bordered by the Kerkini Mountains to the north and the Marvovouni Mountains to the south. Lake Kerkini is a fantastic place for birding. In Lake Kerkini National Park you can see more than 300 bird species. Among them 137 of these species nest, 134 overwinter and 163 use the area as a stopover. Many thousands of waterfowl overwinter in the lake. But all year long you can see great birds. Endangered species that breed here include Marangone minore and Pellicano riccio. Lake Kerkini is also an important wintering area for Pellicano riccio. Other interesting birds you can encounter are Sgarza ciuffetto, Nitticora, Avocetta, Cavaliere d'Italia, Totano moro, Combattente, Cannareccione and Rigogolo. The area also is rich in birds of prey because the nearby forests and mountains provide nesting grounds for the eagles, falcons and owls that forage in the area. Among the birds of prey that can be seen are Aquila imperiale, Aquila di mare, Falco pellegrino, Aquila anatraia maggiore and Aquila reale.
