Descrição
Against the hills, Potamia reservoir is located west of Skala Kallonis, and provides birders with a great spot for wintering waterfowl and migrating waders. When enough water is available, like in winter, the area is used as resting and foraging area by many species of waterbird, like Piadeira, Pato-real, Mergulhão-pequeno and large numbers of Galeirão-comum. Also, small numbers of Mergulhão-de-pescoço-preto tend to hang around here in autumn and winter.
During spring and autumn migration, parts of the reservoir can be dry, and therefore waders can access the edges of the water too. Scan the edges of the reservoir, and you'll have the chance to observe waders like sandpipers, shanks, stilt and plovers. Gulls tend to hang around and rest in the area as well, and sometimes even Pelicano-crespo can be observed here.
There's also a track up the hill that can be interesting for typical inland species, like Melro-azul, Toutinegra-carrasqueira and Chasco-ruivo. Raptors tend to hang around here too, like Águia-cobreira and Búteo-mouro.
