Description
Sevenoaks Wildlife Reserve covers 73 hectares and comprises five lakes surrounded by woodland. There are a few ponds, seasonally flooded pools as well as grassland and small areas of reedbed. The deeper lakes attract all the common wildfowl which are especially abundant in the winter. Surface feeding duck such as (Ευρωπαϊκό) Κιρκίρι and (Ευρασιατική) Χουλιαρόπαπια tend to frequent the shallower areas. Waders such as Δασότρυγγας and Ακτίτης, Πρασινοσκέλης, (Ευρωπαϊκή) Καλημάνα and Ποταμοσφυριχτής can be seen around the muddy edges of the shallow water. The last two species nest on the reserve. Σταχτοτσικνιάς are resident and other birds like (Ευρωπαϊκή) Αλκυόνη, Σταχτοσουσουράδα can often be located. Birds such as (Μεγάλο) Καλαμοτσίχλονο and Καλαμοποταμίδα can easily be seen in the reedbed in the summertime. In the winter the alder trees attract flocks of (Κοινό) Λούγαρο and Τσακρίλλι. You can make a lovely walk around two larger lakes with many good spots for bird watching. There are several hides.
