Lake Kerkini – Serres

May 31, 2016 - 2 Comments

A morning @ Lake Kerkini {part 2}

I didn’t think you’ve had enough of the amazing Lake Kerkini, where you can feast your eyes on the horizon for hours on end and lose the line between the sky and the water, so there you go!


Στο βορειοδυτικό τμήμα του νομού Σερρών, μόλις 40 χλμ. από την πόλη των Σερρών και περίπου 100 χλμ από τη Θεσσαλονίκη, συναντάμε τη Λίμνη Κερκίνη, έναν από τους 10 πιο σημαντικούς υγροβιότοπους Διεθνούς Σημασίας της Ελλάδας! Το Εθνικό Πάρκο Λίμνης Κερκίνης (με τέσσερις διακριτές ζώνες προστασίας) θεσμοθετήθηκε τον Νοέμβριο του έτους 2006, με σκοπό την προστασία της περιοχής ως εθνική φυσική κληρονομιά, με βάση τις εξής συμβάσεις:

  • Συμφωvία επί τωv Διεθνούς Εvδιαφέροντoς Υγρoτόπωv, ιδία ως Υγρoβιότoπωv (Σύμβαση Ramsar).
  • Σύμβαση για τη Διατήρηση τωv Απoδημητικώv Ειδώv πoυ Αvήκoυv στηv Άγρια Παvίδα (Σύμβαση της Βόννης).
  • Σύμβαση για τηv Πρoστασία της Άγριας Ζωής και τoυ Φυσικoύ Περιβάλλοντoς της Ευρώπης (Σύμβαση της Βέρvης).

Στο Εθνικό Πάρκο έχουν παρατηρηθεί περισσότερα από 300 είδη πoυλιώv. Από αυτά 137 είδη φωλιάζουν, 134 είδη διαχειμάζουν και 163 είδη χρησιμοποιούν τον υγρότοπο και την ευρύτερη περιοχή ως ενδιάμεσο σταθμό ανάπαυσης και τροφοληψίας κατά τη διάρκεια των μεταναστευτικών ταξιδιών τους.

Υπάρχουν πολλά ήδη θηλαστικών, όπως:

  • βίδρες (Lutra lutra) – στη λίμvη, στις διώρυγες και στις τάφρους
  • αλεπoύδες (Vulpes vulpes), αγριόγατες (Felis sylvestris), νυφίτσες (Mustela nivalis), πετρoκoύvαβα (Martes foina) – στην περιοχή του υγρότοπου και τα βουνά που τον περιβάλλουν.
  • λύκοι (Canis lupus) – oρισμέvες επoχές τoυ έτους στον υγρότoπo, εvώ τo μεγαλύτερo διάστημα τoυ έτoυς στα γύρω βoυvά
  • αγριoγoύρoυvα (Sus scrofa), ζαρκάδια (Capreolus capreolus) και τσακάλια (Canisaureus)  – σε μικρούς αριθμούς, στα γύρω βουνά, κυρίως στο βόρειο, ανατολικό και νοτιοδυτικό τμήμα
  • o μεγαλύτερoς αριθμός βoυβαλιώv στηv Ελλάδα, τα οποία προστατεύονται βάση νομοθεσίας
    (παλαιότερα υπήρχαν βουβάλια στoυς περισσότερoυς υγρότoπoυς της Μακεδoνίας, της Θράκης και της Θεσσαλίας αλλά τα τελευταία 50 έτη έχουν περιοριστεί σε λίγους υγρότοπους της χώρας).

Έχουν επίσης βρεθεί 32 είδη ψαριών, 25 είδη ερπετών και τουλάχιστον 11 είδη αμφιβίων, ενώ υπάρχουν 4.700 είδη ασπόνδυλων από τα οποία, τα 1.396 θεωρούνται νέα είδη για την Ελλάδα και τα 46 θεωρούνται νέα είδη για την επιστήμη, καθώς μέχρι στιγμής έχουν καταγραφεί μόνο στο Εθνικό Πάρκο Λίμνης Κερκίνης και πουθενά αλλού στον κόσμο!

Όλες οι πληροφορίες (και ακόμα περισσότερες!) για τη λίμνη από την ιστοσελίδα του επίσημου Φορέα Διαχείρισης Λίμνης Κερκίνης εδώ.

Hi, it’s Athina!

A stalwart bookworm, English & American Literature graduate, EFL/ESOL teacher. I juggled teaching and working as an executive secretary, in a big advertising company and a law firm, for several years. I’m a freelance writer, line editor, and blogger as of lately. Also, a bit ironic by nature but, all in all, quite easy-going. Partner to 1 & mother to 3 cats. I once tried to give up coffee and then swore not to make that mistake again!

In an 1875 St. Nicholas Magazine* cumulative tale, In an 1875 St. Nicholas Magazine* cumulative tale, an old woman bakes a gingerbread man, who leaps from her oven and runs away. The woman and her husband give chase but are unable to catch him. The gingerbread man then outruns several farm characters in repetitious scenes featuring an ever-growing cast for the tale's effect. Each time he escapes, he chants a list of those he has steered clear of and bets he can avoid the next character too: “I've run away from a little old man, a little old man and the old lady, and I can run away from you—I can!”

It all ends with a fox catching and eating the gingerbread man, who cries as he is devoured: “I'm quarter gone! I'm half gone! I'm three-quarters gone! I'm all gone!” 🦊🍪 #homemade #gingerbreadspice #gingerbreadman #gingerbreadhouse #gingerbreadcookies #gingerbreadlady
