Beschreibung
Eagle Gorge is an easily accessible gorge from Dedoplistsqaro. Gänsegeier, Schwarzstorch and Wanderfalke breed on the cliffs and can easily be seen from specific watchpoints along the routes. On warm days, Schlangenadler and Zwergadler make regular appearances. In the forest down in the valley Pirol and Wacholderlaubsänger can be heard in spring and summer.
The cliff walls are home to Felsenkleiber, Blaumerle and Felsenschwalbe. Near the parking lot Kappenammer, Ortolan and Sperbergrasmücke are heard singing or can be seen on migration. In autumn, Jungfernkranich are sometimes seen migrating past the highest tops. Further along the path there is a breeding facility for wild Fasan , so a true wild bird of this species has to be encountered somewhere else.
