Beschrijving

The rocky Chortis Hill and the olive orchards west of Lardos are a nice place for watching birds. The paths at the base of the Chortis Hill are a reliable place for Kuifleeuwerik, Blauwe Rotslijster, Bruinkeelortolaan and Duinpieper. Also Arendbuizerd and Alpengierzwaluw can be spotted gliding along the hill. And check the bigger trees for Aziatische Steenpatrijs. The former fortress and the abandoned sports area are a good place to check for Blonde Tapuit and Roodkopklauwier, and pay attention to Roodstuitzwaluw that might fly over as well.

In the olive orchards you can find Bijeneter, Hop and different kinds of warblers. Along the river Lardos, you can find Ralreiger and Kwak.

Extra info

I have visited the area in late spring (End of May, early June) both in 2023 and 2024. In 2024, you could see the impact that the bushfires had also in this region, but because vegetation is very low, it was not so servere. What I did note was that the population of Bruinkeelortolaan had massively decreased.
