No habitat types are reported for the site
3.2 Species referred to in Article 4 of Directive 2009/147/EC and listed in Annex II of Directive 92/43/EEC and site evaluation for them
- 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)
3.3 Other important species of flora and fauna (optional)
- Group: A = Amphibians, B = Birds, F = Fish, Fu = Fungi, I = Invertebrates, L = Lichens, M = Mammals, P = Plants, R = Reptiles
- CODE: for Birds, Annex IV and V species the code as provided in the reference portal should be used in addition to the scientific name
- 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)
- 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)
- Cat.: Abundance categories: C = common, R = rare, V = very rare, P = present

Other Site Characteristics
| Zagori is a mountainous area, surrounded by Tymphi, Mitsikeli and Mavrovounimountains. Mitsikeli (Oros Mitsikeli) is a long and narrow mountain situated inthe central part of the Ioannina Prefecture. It begins south of Mt. Timfi andextends northwestwards to southeastwards to Mt. Driskos, dominating the IoanninaLake. Its highest peak has an altitude of 1810 m. Many springs flow fromMitsikeli and feed the Ioannina lake. At the eastern side of Mitsikeli extensiveformations dominated by characteristic species of Ostryo-Carpinion and Quercionfrainetto, such as Ostrya carpinifolia, Carpinus orientalis, Fraxinus ornus,Quercus pubescens, Corylus sp., Acer sp. etc., occur. In the higher altitudesstands of Abies borisii-regis appear. |
4.2 Quality and importance
| This site is very important for many rare and endangered raptor species, most notably the Egyptian Vulture and the Golden Eagle. Both species have suffered from illegal shooting, poisoning and lack of food and their numbers have been reduced greatly. Especially the Egyptian Vulture is on the brink of extinction inmany areas. Other species found is the Booted Eagle, Short-toed Eagle, Honey Buzzard and Peregrine Falcon. Other species of concern include the Black Stork, Eagle Owl, Black Woodpecker, Red-backed Shrike, Quail and Woodlark.Illegal shooting and use of poisoned baits have greatly affected raptor populations. Cutting of large trees is also a potential threat (there's an incident of cutting a tree with a Golden Eagle nest), while increased disturbance by visitors is another threat that is expected to intensify in the next years.The removal of large trees is also threatening forest species like the Black Stork and Black Woodpecker. |
