Description
Moustas Wetlands is a wetland system consisting of two lakes, Lake Moustos and a smaller, Lake Cherronissos. It is located in the center of the bay of Astros, behind the sandy beach. The lake Moustos has a maximum depth 5 meters and communicates with the sea by two artificial channels. The Cherronissos Lake is formed by the waters of the spring that flows from the edge of the hill to the east and goes directly into the sea. The area is a refuge for a significant population of migratory birds that overwinter. In its dense reeds nest Barski petlovan and Crvena čaplja. Among the other birds you can encounter are Vlastelica, Plovka kašikara, Krdža, Mali gnjurac, Sprudnik pijukavac, Eja močvarica, Senica vuga, Sredozemna crnoglava grmuša and Svilorepi cvrčić.
