Site description (2012 baseline):
Site location and context
This scrub-dominated site, consisting of two steep-sided valleys of the Kouris and Limnatis rivers that merge at the Kouris dam, is important as the only site beyond Episkopi cliffs where the Griffon Vulture (Gyps fulvus) has been known to nest in recent years. The extensive areas of dense, spiny broomdominated scrub at this new IBA also make it important for Cyprus Warbler (Sylvia melanothorax), while mention could also be made of breeding Long-legged Buzzards (Buteo rufinus) and Peregrine Falcons (Falco peregrinus).
