Description

The area is a secluded rural haven away from the nearby tourist areas with quiet lanes and tracks threading through local farmland that can be explored easily on foot. The best time time to visit is in the first few hours after sunrise when the birds are most active. Pasărea ogorului is present in the fields and orchards in the area. Sfrâncioc cu cap roșu are easy to see perched atop bushes and wires. Mediterranean Flycatcher can be found in wooded glades along many of the roads and tracks in the area and during migration they are joined by Muscar sur and Muscar negru. Other migrants include Mărăcinar mare and Codroș de pădure. Other birds that can be seen in the area include Pupăză, Grangur, Turturică, Ciocârlan spaniol, Ciocârlie de stol, Silvie mediteraneană, Cănăraș and Codobatură galbenă. Scan the hills to the south for Acvilă mică. A circular route of 3 km is shown which should cover most of the species, but the wider area is well worth exploration.
