Being
part of the Via Pontica migratory route, the wetland
is of special importance for observing soaring migrants
(storks, pelicans and great variety of birds of prey),
resting and feeding waders (stints, sandpipers, plovers,
curlews, phalaropes etc.) and many gulls and terns (like
Mediterranean, Little and Slender-billed Gulls, Little
and Sandwich Terns etc.). During winter the lake and
the adjacent sea area are perfect for many divers, grebes
(especially Black-necked Grebe), Great Egrets, Bitterns,
waterfowl (swans and diving ducks), gulls and waders. |
