Descripción

Voroklini Lake (also called Oroklini Lake) is a protected Natura 2000 site of Paneuropean significance thanks to the biodiversity of the lake. Voroklini Lake is one of only seven natural wetlands in Cyprus. Despite its small size, it has a rich birdlife. The site is located about 9 km from the city of Larnaka town and south of the village of Voroklini. Several threatened bird species come to nest at the site: Cigüeñuela común, Avefría Espinosa, Alcaraván Común, Charrancito Común, Charrán Común and Chorlitejo patinegro. During migration (in spring or autumn) or in winter many migratory birds and many species of ducks can be seen. A total of around 200 species have been recorded at the site. Voroklini Lake is also the only site in Cyprus where Pato Colorado nests. Other birds you can see in the wetland are Flamenco Común, Garcilla Bueyera, Cerceta Común, Cuchara Común, Ánade rabudo norteño, Porrón Pardo, Cerceta Carretona, Zampullín Común, Combatiente, Agachadiza común, Archibebe Fino, Morito Común and Aguilucho Lagunero Occidental. On the fields around the lake keep you eyes open for Francolín Ventrinegro, Tórtola Senegalesa, Perdiz chúcar, Alcaraván Común, Collalba Chipriota and Cogujada Común.

Here one can see the nesting islets created for Avefría Espinosa. Winter and Spring are the best times for such a visit.
