Birdwatching in Lori

Dsegh Village

We started our trail from dsegh village. Dsegh is one of the unique territories of Lori region that has a great contrast of a surface. It s considered an important birdwatching territory (IBT) and spreads to the south of Debet river including the territory between Pambak and Marts rivers and stretches till the slopes of Bovakar mountains. The highest peak of the IBT is Mount Bovakar (3016 m ), and the lowest point is the estuary of Marts river (829 m). The contrast between the heights caused the origin of upward landscapes. You can meet more than 150 bird species here. Here we separate:

  1. Nesting, sedentary
  2. Nesting, migrant
  3. Not nesting
  4. Migrating
  5. Wintering bird species
