Beskrivning
Vardzia is a 12th‑century cave monastery complex. The site combines a great site with historical significance with birdwatching. klippnötväcka are numerous and a walk through the many rooms hacked into the stone face of the valley will result in hearing rödpannad gulhämpling and blåtrast. During Spring and Summer months, alpseglare can be seen high above the valley. There are many nests of klippsvala and hussvala along the rock faces and berghöna can be heard in the surroundings. During the winter months, murkrypare can be found on the cliff walls. strömstare are common along the Kura river.
There is some debate on the occurrence of Östlig klippnötväcka in this area, so be the first to definitively prove its occurrence! A small lake (1) along the road to Vardzia is good for migrants during Spring migration with fältsångare, kaveldunsångare and many dvärgrördrom.
