Description
The River Monnow is a scenic area noted for blossoming fruit orchards in spring. On warm mornings up to 50 Kuzgun soar the thermals, with Şahin and maybe a Atmaca. On the river there are Gri balýkçýl, Küçük ak balýkçýl, Dağ kuyruksallayanı, Kum kırlangıcı, Ebabil, Yalıçapkını, Derekuşu and Mandarin Ördeği. The fruit orchards attract large numbers of wintering Tarla ardıcı and Kızıl ardıç.
