Description
In Mtirala National Park the plant diversity is very high with a lot of Caucasian specialties. Birds are not so numerous but the species that can be seen are interesting, especially woodpeckers (e.g. Ciocănitoare cu spate alb). Along the river, Codobatură de munte and Pescărel negru are numerous. Alongside the Ciocănitoare cu spate alb other woodpeckers like Ciocănitoare pestriță mică, Ciocănitoare de stejar, Ciocănitoare pestriță mare, Ciocănitoare neagră and Ghionoaie sură can be found. The streams harbor a special species of salamander, only found in the Caucasus.
