Description

The fields, the Pambak River valley, and the surrounding mountains provide an excellent location for observing meadow and field bird species. Many interesting birds can also be found in the nearby garden plots. During the spring (late March) and autumn (August-September) migrations, dozens, and sometimes hundreds, of birds of prey pass through. You can spot both глувчар and kites, as well as rarer species like царски орел and степски орел.
