Description

This landscape is one of the most beautiful sodic lands of the Great Plains. It is an internationally recognized habitat for water and shore birds. This area is also home to water and shore birds especially in the migration time. The most valuable part of the Böddi-szék is the central 250 ha area, which used to be a confluent lake basin. The lake has a very fluctuating water regime. After being grazed, a rich bird fauna occupied it; 154 species have so far been recorded, out of which 52 also breed here. Among the birds you can see here are Gravelot à collier interrompu, Avocette élégante, Oedicnème criard, Rollier d'Europe, Guêpier d'Europe, Faucon kobez, Busard des roseaux, Butor étoilé, Échasse blanche and Outarde barbue. There is a high observation tower from where you have a great overview of the area (see the map).
