Mandra is the southernmost of the three lakes around Burgas. Previously a brackish lake it became a fresh water reservoir fed from few bigger rivers and a number of rivulets. Recently it has become a part of the complex Mandra-Poda, comprising the territory of the lake and the adjacent small lagoon named Poda. During the breeding season several interesting species could be observed in the area: Purple Heron, Little Bittern, crakes, White-tailed Eagle, Marsh Harrier etc. Although not as breeders it is possible to see also White Pelicans and Pygmy Cormorants feeding in the waters of the lake.
Thousands soaring migrants – storks, pelicans and birds of prey, following the Via Pontica migratory route, pass over especially in autumn. Mandra Lake is an Important Bird Area primarily due to its significance for the water-connected birds during winter. Its waters provide safety and good food resources to many Black-necked Grebes, Great and Pygmy Cormorants, Dalmatian Pelicans, Mute, Whooper and Bewick’s Swans, White-fronted birds.
