Description

The road between Mavria and Platania is a great road to stop and drive along, and to observe many local breeding species, like sedmohlások olivový, penica majstrovská and penica fúzatá. The small houses and farms a worth a check for kuvik obyčajný, and the scattered trees are perfect for škovránik stromový. The scrubs and bushes are great for many species of shrike, like strakoš červenohlavý and strakoš bieločelý. The rocky outcrops are great for brhlík skalný and strnádka sivokrká.

During migration, the area is worth to check for species like krakľa belasá, včelárik zlatý and vlha obyčajná. Raptors are always present, and tend to hang around the hill tops, like myšiak hrdzavý.
