Beschrijving
Hayravank Gulf is a good combination of artificial forest, grassland, reed islands and a rocky cliff on the northern side. You can find dry steppe species as Tapuit and Hop. Forest birds like tits, Vink, Houtduif, and a lot of water birds (grebes and ducks) on the lake. Reed islands and the drowned farm are home for herons, Waterhoen and other species. On the long flat shore you can encounter waders like Oeverloper, Bosruiter and Witgat. At this spot you can also observe birds of prey such as Bruine Kiekendief, Buizerd and Havik.
In winter the area is a refuge for enormous flocks of Kuifeend, Krooneend and Meerkoet. About 50 Kleine Zwaan are also wintering here.
