• Group: A = Amphibians, B = Birds, F = Fish, I = Invertebrates, M = Mammals, P = Plants, R = Reptiles
• S: in case that the data on species are sensitive and therefore have to be blocked for any public access enter: yes
• NP: in case that a species is no longer present in the site enter: x (optional)
• Type: p = permanent, r = reproducing, c = concentration, w = wintering (for plant and non-migratory species use permanent)
• Unit: i = individuals, p = pairs or other units according to the Standard list of population units and codes in accordance with Article 12 and 17 reporting (see reference portal)
• Abundance categories (Cat.): C = common, R = rare, V = very rare, P = present - to fill if data are deficient (DD) or in addition to population size information
• Data quality: G = 'Good' (e.g. based on surveys); M = 'Moderate' (e.g. based on partial data with some extrapolation); P = 'Poor' (e.g. rough estimation); VP = 'Very poor' (use this category only, if not even a rough estimation of the population size can be made, in this case the fields for population size can remain empty, but the field "Abundance categories" has to be filled in)

Other Site Characteristics

A densely forested area that extends along the Greco-bulgarian borders. This site includes extensive Oak (Quercus spp.) woodland, primary Fagus and Pinus forests, as well as Betula sp. forest, unique in Greece.

4.2 Quality and importance

This site is very important for the Capercaillie and the Hazel grouse which have a very restricted range in Greece. Furthermore, it is home to all woodpecker species found in Greece, including the Three-toed Woodpecker. It is also important for birds of prey like the Egyptian Vulture, the Golden and Short-toed Eagle,the Honey Buzzard and the Common Buzzard and the Peregrine.Hilly country close to Nestos River is important for the Black Stork, while clearings and other open areas host the most significant population of the Ring Ouzel in Greece, and good numbers of the Red-backed Shrike and the Barred Warbler. Finally it is also very important site for the Nutcracker whose range in Greece is restricted to the Rodopi massif.
