You can also enjoy the seaside as well as the small pine grove on Roccelletta's side. Some notable observations include Щёголь, Шилоклювка and Болотный лунь. Furthermore, during spring and summer, the nearby buildings host nesting pairs of Чёрный стриж and Воронок. A lot of the listed birds are present only during migration.
