Description
The River Monnow is a scenic area noted for blossoming fruit orchards in spring. On warm mornings up to 50 (Κοινός) Κόρακας soar the thermals, with (Κοινή) Γερακίνα and maybe a (Κοινό) Ξεφτέρι. On the river there are Σταχτοτσικνιάς, (Κοινός) Λευκοτσικνιάς, Σταχτοσουσουράδα, Οχθοχελίδονο, (Κοινή) Σταχτάρα, (Ευρωπαϊκή) Αλκυόνη, (Ευρωπαϊκός) Νεροκότσυφας and Mandarin Duck. The fruit orchards attract large numbers of wintering Κεδρότσιχλα and Κοκκινότσιχλα.
