Description
This huge area (54,000 hectares) is a paradise for birdwatchers as it has recorded over 270 different bird species, many of which this is the most accessible site in Azerbaijan. The reason for such an abundance is its location on the Caspian Sea coast bird migration path and its importance as a breeding, resting and wintering site. The huge flocks of Outarde canepetière, sometimes numbering more than 25,000 birds, that spend the winter in the lowland steppes like in Shirvan is one of the top attractions for birdwatchers in Azerbaijan! They can also be seen further west inland and are usually present from mid-November to early March.
Target species in winter: Outarde canepetière, Aigle impérial, Busard Saint-Martin, Buse féroce, Garrot à oeil d'or, Flamant rose, Pélican blanc, Alouette leucoptère and Courlis cendré. In spring and early summer: Francolin noir, Alouette pispolette, Guêpier de Perse, Gravelot de Leschenault, Pluvier asiatique, Chevalier bargette and Oedicnème criard.
When to visit: All year there is good birdwatching but try November-February for the flocks of Outarde canepetière and April-June for the breeding species. Also a visit in September-October will produce a good range of raptors, passerines and on the lake also ducks and waders.
