Beschrijving
Cape Tenaro (aka Tainaro or Cape Matspan) is situated at the end of the Mani Peninsula. It is the southernmost point of mainland Greece, and the second southernmost point in mainland Europe. Cape Tenaro is the first landfall for spring migrant birds returning from Africa after a 400 km crossing of the Mediterraean Sea. In the autumn the long, narrow peninsula of the Mani funnels migrant birds moving south. With limited tree and scrub cover Cape Tenaro is a great place to observe bird migration. Among the birds that can be spotted are Zwarte Wouw, Cirlgors, Bruinkeelortolaan, Kuifleeuwerik, Boomleeuwerik, Hop, Bijeneter, Scharrelaar, Purperreiger, Kuhls Pijlstormvogel, Kleine Torenvalk, Slangenarend, Draaihals, Zomertortel, flycatchers and warblers.
