Aliki Anavissov, Anavissos Attiki on January 22, 2016
We are trying to normalize the bird watching program in Aliki Anavisou in southern Attica - an important wetland area near the Greek Center for Marine Research. I had my friends Yiannis Kapakos, Ira Theophilou and David Koutsagiannapoulos (they took the following photos)
Here are some of the initial organizational rules we implemented today in the second pilot survey:
1. The land area of the former salt marshes (the fenced area of Alika) must be taken into account in the linear section, after which the birds are counted in three lists: a) inside the wetland; b) wetland; c) outside the area of the salt curtain barrier. The so-called “wetland” is roughly outlined (dotted yellow line) on the map above and includes areas dominated by open wetlands. Areas beyond its borders (including the fence itself) are within the territory. By walking the section slowly and evenly, all positively identified species can be recorded in their respective "habitats". When a species is cleared and migrates to or flies from another habitat, it settles in the area where it was first discovered.
2. The transect must be walked at the same pace and follow the same route each time (indicated by the red dots above). Two birds, myself and Ira Teofilo know the exact route (roughly given above) and we can show it to others who want to join.
3. More than two people must complete the survey for standardization.
4. The survey should last one hour. (At a slow pace with 4-5 stops). The telescope is not used. Good binoculars are essential. Bird watchers should not photograph birds during dissection.
5. We intend to conduct at least two surveys over the next 12 months.
6. The approximate distribution of each wetted area must be mapped (as in the map above). A rough estimate is made (ie % of Gesaltza Lot wetland submerged - currently around 10%).
7. Any violation or human intervention must be reported. (ie today there was only one man picking hay, no car, no dog).
8. The start and end times must be clearly stated.
9. In addition to the survey, a small stream mouth (Anavisas stream) is also counted (maximum 15 minutes). A quick study of the estuary will also help to detect birds in Anavisos Bay (an area poor in oligotrophic species).
Today there are 23 species of birds in Aliki-Anaissa; At the mouth of the Anavissos River, 7 species have been recorded (several species including the hen, the kingfisher are found only here).
The whole experience is a pleasant ride.

| Official documents grant Alikes Anavis (Coastal Marsh of Alikes Anaissos) protected area status and delineate wetlands for the first time. The demarcation is similar to mine above in this post. And fortunately, it also includes populated fields. Unfortunately, this does not include the small channel mouths behind the beach (2) and the periodically flooded pools. But the result is good! |
