Beschreibung
These three coastal sites are just West of The Valley of Rocks (see separate entry). But are different in being more heavily wooded with mostly deciduous trees and fast flowing streams were Gebirgsstelze are possible. In places there are some tall conifer trees, so look out for Wintergoldhähnchen. Nearer the coast at Crock Point Wanderfalke, Dreizehenmöwe, Eissturmvogel, Trottellumme, Tordalk, Basstölpel, Steinschmätzer, Schwarzkehlchen and Bluthänfling can be seen. Further inland in wooded areas, sadly suffering from the felling of many Ash trees in recent years, during Summer you can expect to see Gartenrotschwanz, Fitis, Zilpzalp and Trauerschnäpper.
