Stony slopes of Krumovitsa River valley with cliffs, scattered bushes and trees, sandy river-bed and agriculture fields, supporting number of southern species.
Very good mosaic of different habitats, providing suitable conditions for big variety of birds of different groups. Traditional and nature friendly agriculture practices allowed presence of birds as European Roller, Hoopoe, Lesser Grey Shrike, Little Owl and other. The cliffs on the slopes provide nesting sites to the Western Rock Nuthatch, Black Stork, Common Raven and other. On the stony and bushy slopes Chukar, Black-eared Wheatear, Olive-tree Warbler, Subalpine Warbler, Sardinian Warbler and Eastern Orphean Warbler can be seen. Levant Sparrowhawk keeps to the tree belts along the river, where Eurasian Hobby can be observed, too. White Stork nests in the little hamlets in the area are nesting sites of the Spanish Sparrow.
