Description

Limni Keri Bitumen Wells and Lake is a beautiful small marsh area situated along the coast of Limni Kiri. You can easily park your car and look out over the sea for a moment. When you start with a loop around the wetland during spring, you will immediately hear and see all sorts of birds. You will hear Дроздовидная камышевка singing right away, and you will encounter them scattered throughout the entire loop. In the shallow areas, waders such as Белохвостый песочник, Краснозобик, Кулик-воробей and Перевозчик forage. You will also see Жёлтая цапля scattered throughout the area, and if you look closely, Волчок. Wagtails also forage at the edges. I spotted a Жёлтая трясогузка and my first Black-headed wagtail. But be sure to keep an eye on the surroundings as well, because I saw Иволга and Ворон flying around. Луговой чекан was also present everywhere in the area.
