Descrizione

Sorkhroud is a seasonal wetland in the Mazandaran Province of Iran, primarily composed of flooded rice paddies and shallow water bodies. The habitat is defined by its proximity to the Caspian Sea and its transformation during the winter months when water levels rise to create a suitable environment for migratory waterfowl. The surrounding area consists of reed beds and agricultural land, which provide both cover and foraging ground for various bird species.

The site is known for the "swan congestion," where Cigno reale, Cigno selvatico, and Cigno minore gather in high numbers during the winter. What makes this site distinct is the high density of birds in a relatively small area, largely due to local grain-feeding programs that support the swan population during harsh winters, allowing for close-range observation of the flocks.

Sorkhroud Pond is located in one of the neighborhoods of Sorkhroud city and is accessible by private car or taxi. You can find parking spots in the neighborhood, but keep in mind that it can be very crowded on the weekends. You can spend one or two hours enjoying the swans and other bird species. Gabbianello is one of the other interesting birds to find there.
