A coastal fresh-water lake in North-Eastern Bulgaria, surrounded by areas under cultivation to the west and south. Part of the complex is also the shallow lagoon, named Shablenska Tuzla, placed southwards. The rich in fish waters and the large reedbeds of Shabla Lake along with the mosaic vegetation of the sandy dunes nearby are a premise for the presence of many water-connected birds during the nesting season like grebes, little Bitterns, Shelducks, Little Terns, Ferruginous Ducks, crakes, Little Ringed Plovers, Tawny Pipits, Lesser Grey Shrikes etc. Many egrets, herons, diving and dabbling ducks, waders and sometimes pelicans occur in the area for the period of the spring and the autumn migration.
But the territory of Shabla Lake is most famous for its wintering geese. More than 50 000 Red-breasted Geese (which is approximately 60-80 % of the world’s population of this species) and 100 000 White-fronted Geese use to spend the severe winters here. Flocks, comprising tens of thousands of grazing geese, during daytime could be observed in the agricultural fields in the vicinity. Attracting highly impressive numbers and variety of water birds (in some years more than 200 000 individuals) the waters of Shabla Lake are also of great importance in the cold months for many grebes, swans, ducks, gulls etc.
