Descripción
Mahmudchala Lake is easily accessible for birders as the main highway heading south to Masalli cuts through the area. Located about 160km south of Baku, this is a worthwhile stop-off en route to the bigger birdwatching sites of Gizil Aghaj National Park and the Talish Mountains further south. From November to April it is a refuge for tens of thousands of wetland birds. Target species in winter: Malvasía Cabeciblanca, Pagaza Piconegra, Terrera marismeña, Flamenco Común, Gavión Cabecinegro and Bisbita Gorgirrojo. In summer: Cerceta Pardilla and Terrera marismeña. The area is most interesting during spring and late autumn/winter.
