Description

In the mouth of the Gulf of Kalloni, the island of Garbias is located. This uninhabitated island is very rocky and barren, but is used by many birds as resting and breeding area. Large flocks of Gulbeinmåke and Toppskarv rest on the beaches. The island is used as breeding ground by Klippedue (Domestisert: Bydue), Kaie and Rødfalk, and the birds can be seen flying to and from the island from off the coast of Makara.

The sea around the island is also great for flocks of Middelhavslire.
