Description
The Kocaçay Delta is of great importance for birds because it contains lagoons, forests and large dunes formed at the site where Kocaçay river flows into the sea. The area has two shallow lagoons. There are reedareas on the shores of the lagoons. To the south the delta is bordered by hills that are covered by deciduous forests.
At the point where the cross stream flows into the Marmara Sea, you have the chance to observe more than 250 bird species in summer and winter. You can explore the area either by vehicle or on foot, with Arapçiftliği lake on the right and Dalyan lake on the left. Among the birds you can see here are Skutulönd, Roðakani, Flatnefur, Bláþyrill, Dverggoði and Sefþvari. But many more, see the extended birdlist below.
