Beschrijving
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 Waterhoen, Dodaars, Gele Kwikstaart , Grote Karekiet and sometimes Zwarte Ibis and Koereiger. In the surrounding pastures and lakeshore forest Koekoek, Hop and Houtduif could be encountered. There is a good viewpoint to observe the western part of Lake Sevan where you can observe Meerkoet, Fuut and Kuifeend all year round.
