Description
The Vergias river, also known as the Chalandra river, leads from the sea all the way towards the dam at Pithariou reservoir. Like many other rivers facing southwest on the island, migrants tend to follow the riverbed further inland. Along the route, you can scan (scattered) bushes and trees for migrants, like flycatchers and warblers. Scan wires and fences for chats and shrikes, like мало страче and планинско ливадарче. Overhead, lots of migrants, like herons, storks, swifts, пчеларка and raptors can be seen, flying inland.
On the beach and the adjacent fields, migrants can be seen resting when they finally arrived on the island; especially early in the morning. Species like потполошка and Чурулин have been seen here too.
Just near the beach, a bridge crosses the river from which you can observe the river for herons and waders, like Мал воден бик, шарена тринга, белоопашест свиркач, мал свиркач, жолта чапја and лисеста гусковидна патка. In the surrounding bushes, species like свиларче and шпанско врапче can be found.
Over sea, flocks of Мал завој can be seen, and sometimes Голем завој (diomedea) are mixed with these flocks.
