Opis

Faneromeni Beach is one of the popular birdingplaces on the island of Lesvos during, especially, spring migration. The area consists of a coastal area with agricultural fields, orchards and small rivers with high reedbeds. The valley is lush green and full of bushes, trees and meadows while the surrounding area is barren, rocky and dry; a perfect stop-over for migrating birds. The beach contains typical shrubs which are often used by dzierlatka (zwyczajna) as lookout posts. drozdówka rdzawa can also be found here and forages between the shrubs and the fields adjacent to the beach. The river mouth is excellent for many bird species, like waders, herons, pipits and storks. The surrounding reedbeds are perfect for bączek and trzciniak. In the river itself, many species of wader, like biegus malutki, can be seen. The river mouth is also a perfect location for pliszka cytrynowa.

From the beach, you'll have a perfect vantage point over sea, where many gulls and large flocks of shearwater can be seen. Flocks of 100+ burzyk sródziemnomorski can be spotted from here with often a few Burzyk żółtodzioby (diomedea) between them. Flocks of mewa romańska can be found on the beach and mewa sródziemnomorska LRcd has often been found here too.

The fields adjacent to the beach consist of open agricultural fields with many fences, power lines and scattered trees. Directly near the beach a house is located with higher trees. Groups of pasterz are often found in this area. The fields are always worth a check for migrants of all kinds, especially in the early morning. Many pipits and wagtails, like pliszka żółta and świergotek rdzawogardły, can be seen here. Buntings use the power lines as vantage point, like trznadel czarnogłowy and potrzeszcz. The bushes are often used by many species of shrike, like dzierzba czarnoczelna, dzierzba rudogłowa and dzierzba bialoczelna. Some barbed wire next to the road, especially in the vicinity of bushes, can be full of speared beetles and other prey species of these shrikes. Above the fields, harriers, like błotniak zbożowy and błotniak stepowy, hunt for prey. czajka szponiasta is often spotted on these fields.

Even further inland, the agricultural fields are replaced by fig and olive orchards. These orchards are used by many migrants, like flycatchers and warblers. wilga (zwyczajna) is often heard from within these orchards. Passing larger migrants, like storks and raptors can easily be seen from these areas. Large flocks of kobczyk can be present on the power lines. pustułeczka hunts in and around these orchards and fields and return with prey to their nests (mainly) on the island of Megalonisi. If you're lucky, you'll find a passing krogulec krótkonogi.

The area surrounding the river, which eventually flows into the sea on Faneromeni Beach, is good for many species of migrants and local reedbirds. The road goes through the river and is a very good spot to observe drinking birds, like flocks of wróbel sródziemnomorski and many other songbirds. When the water is relatively low, this spot is perfect for observing other waterbirds, like waders and herons. Just north of this crossing, the landscape is pretty rocky. Here, flocks of gołąb miejski can be found.

Szczegóły

Dostęp

The area is easy accessable, especially by foot. Most of the track is tarmac and easy to walk on. The best way to walk around is to drive towards the restaurant on the beach, park your car there and walk around counter clockwise. Therefore, you'll need to cross the river mouth, so keep in mind you'll need the right equipment to cross, but most of the times the crossing is just a meter of water in width. You'll have to climb some rocks to continue your track, but this is fairly easy to do, even with telescope and camera.
