VAN – Anadolu Agency
The number of birds in eastern
Turkey’s Van lake
basin have increased following heavy rains in the region, according to a
biology professor.
Atilla Durmuş, a professor at
Yüzüncü Yıl University’s Department of Biology in Van, told
state-run Anadolu Agency that the birds enjoy easy nourishment and breeding due
to rainfall this year.
Visitors in the region can
observe around 213 bird types among hundreds of other birds in the Van lake
basin, which is home to one five of wetlands in Turkey. Different bird species
in the basin offer unique beauties to visitors.
The basin, which is also one of
the places preferred by scientists for their research, is home to birds like
flamingoes, swans, white-headed ducks, black-winged stilts, avocets, herons,
ringed plovers, wild geese and others.
As the region is on the migratory
route, various bird species can be seen in every season. Festivals are
organized to promote the region to the world.
