Lake Shkodra lies on the border of Albania and Montenegro, and is the largest lake in Southern Europe. The lake's water level varies seasonally from 4.7 to 9.8 m above sea level. which attracts many birds. The lake is one of the largest bird reserves in Europe, having 270 bird species. Half of them are migratory birds, while the other part builds their nests along the lake shore. The lake is a sanctuary for 1.5 to 2.5 million birds each year. Due to the incredible biodiversity attracted by the lake’s mix of habitats and the need for conservation, Lake Shkodra was added to the List of Wetlands of International Importance by the Ramsar Convention in 1996. Maybe the most special bird is the rare Pélican frisé. Shkodra Lake is known for its evergreen colors. The water surface offers excellent grounds for thousands of wintering waterbirds whose population is dominated by diving species including Cormoran pygmée, Fuligule morillon, Fuligule milouin, Grèbe huppé, Garrot à oeil d'or and Foulque macroule. The surrounding of the lake is covered with riparian forests and wet meadows offering both excellent roosting, nesting sites and feeding sites for numerous passerines. The water lilies create a meadow of leaves and flowers used as nesting sites by thousands of Guifette moustac. Its Mediterranean rocky hinterland, olive groves and scrub are home to species including Perdrix bartavelle, Hypolaïs des oliviers and Traquet oreillard. Among the birds of prey that can be seen are Circaète Jean-le-Blanc and Aigle royal.
