Nice small pond close to main highway Erevan-Sevan. Perfect if you don't have time to visit Norashen reserve or other spots at the Lake Sevan shore.

Description

Gandzavank Pond is a small pond near the M10 highway. The pond was formerly a part of Lake Sevan and is surrounded by dry pastures. In winter it's frozen and abandoned, but in late spring and summer you can always find here Gallinule poule-d'eau, Grèbe castagneux, Bergeronnette printanière , Rousserolle turdoïde and sometimes Ibis falcinelle and Héron garde-boeufs. In the surrounding pastures and lakeshore forest Coucou gris, Huppe fasciée and Pigeon ramier could be encountered. There is a good viewpoint to observe the western part of Lake Sevan where you can observe Foulque macroule, Grèbe huppé and Fuligule morillon all year round.
