The southern part of the Kalloni Saltpans is a great area to observe many birds, and especially good for Prlivka and mejačica.
South of the main road, next to the saltpans, a large field consisting of lower vegetation and seasonal pools is located. This area cannot be easily accessed, but are still worth a check with your binoculars or telescope. The seasonal pools can hold large numbers of waders, egrets, herons and waterfowl. Groups of pipits, wagtails and larks, like rdečegrla cipa and kratkoprsti škrjanček, can be seen here too, feeding in the surrounding grassy vegetation. Also, the electricity wires along the road and in the field are great for čebelar, smrdokavra, shrikes and swallows. During migration, flocks of rdečenoga postovka can be seen here too. Raptors can be seen hunting above these fields too, like rjavi lunj.
Further down the road, near the seaside, you can walk along the beach and check the bushes for mejačica. The fields next to the beach are great for flocks of pipits, wagtails and larks, like rjava cipa and kratkoprsti škrjanček. The area is also used as breeding ground for Prlivka.
A road leads you through the area, so it can be easily accessed. Avoid disturbing breeding birds, like Prlivka near the beach.
