The protagonists of the month
January: KingfisherKingfisher appears occasional in the Park in autumn and spring. One thing for sure is that in the winter flies all over the lakes, sits in the edge of the reeds and the borders of the canals ready to assault to grasp the food. February: House MartinIt sounds weird that the protagonist of the winterlike February is the swallow. The Park is the first place of arrival for the swallow because is that area of the mainland of Greece where every year migratory birds appear. March: HoopoeHoopoe comes after the swallows and is related to the arrival of the spring. We admire the presence of this bird from the second ten-days of March. April: Glossy IbisYou will be surprised by this kind of bird when you see it for the first time because of its strange appearance. It looks like a small heron but has a typical extensive and curved beak. May: Testudo MarginataAn animal which lives only in Greece and you can meet with it in Sardinia and that is why it is from the most important species of our country. It can survive even in the hardest climatological conditions and in wildlife sanctuaries with dry vegetation. June: FrogOn the hearing of his croaking, the night has come and those spring evenings. The Park “A. Tritsis” is one of the few places in the Attica land where frog can sing with its croaking. July: White BatIt is one of the night queens. The White Bat seems extremely energetic inside the Park in the whole year but July seems to be busy enough because her babies born in June attempt their first flies. August: KyprinosThere is no visitor in the Park who will not be surprised by the flock of the Kyprinos who fight in order to grasp pieces of bread that people throw away to feed the ducks in the lakes. September: Grey HeronIs the biggest from all the herons we find in our country and the main representative of his family. During the Park’s construction we find him there in a permanent base and consists of a pleasant surprise for the visitors. They often fly over their heads and with the big spread of their wings. October: WagtailThe wagtails appear in the town offering a unique spectacle in the squares and in the roads even before the arrival of the heavy winter and before the last swallows leave. November: RobinThe first Robins have already appeared by September in the suburbs of Athens making known with a less discouraging way the familiar wish "Have a Nice Winter". December: ChaffinchWith the arrival of the winter, the cold, cloudy and rainy weather brings to the Park the big mass of linnet in Greece and Europe: the Chaffinch |
