Description
The Vergias river, also known as the Chalandra river, leads from the sea all the way towards the dam at Pithariou reservoir. Like many other rivers facing southwest on the island, migrants tend to follow the riverbed further inland. Along the route, you can scan (scattered) bushes and trees for migrants, like flycatchers and warblers. Scan wires and fences for chats and shrikes, like Sfrâncioc cu frunte neagră and Mărăcinar negru. Overhead, lots of migrants, like herons, storks, swifts, Prigorie and raptors can be seen, flying inland.
On the beach and the adjacent fields, migrants can be seen resting when they finally arrived on the island; especially early in the morning. Species like Prepeliță and Pasărea ogorului have been seen here too.
Just near the beach, a bridge crosses the river from which you can observe the river for herons and waders, like Stârc pitic, Fluierar de zăvoi, Fugaci pitic, Fugaci mic, Stârc galben and Călifar roșu. In the surrounding bushes, species like Stufărică and Vrabie negricioasă can be found.
Over sea, flocks of Ielcovan can be seen, and sometimes Ielcovan mediteranean are mixed with these flocks.
