Beschrijving
Nisyros is a volcanic Greek island in the Aegean Sea. Its shape is approximately round, with a diameter of about 8 km. Its coasts are generally rocky or pebbled, and there are also a few sandy beaches. The volcano is currently active but not erupting, and fumaroles are found at the craters. The rich volcanic soils of Nisyros support very varied vegetation which in turn supports many species of fauna. The large number of trees gives it the characterization as the only green active volcano in the Aegean. Among the birds you can encounter are Eleonora's Valk, Alpengierzwaluw, Aziatische Steenpatrijs, Blauwe Rotslijster, Steenuil and Raaf.
Above sea and along the coast you can observe birds such as Yelkouanpijlstormvogel, Scopoli's Pijlstormvogel, Geelpootmeeuw and Kuifaalscholver. Especially during autumn migration passerines can be observed on the island. For example Fluiter, Fitis, Braamsluiper, Grauwe Vliegenvanger and Grauwe Klauwier.
