Beschrijving

Hrazdan Reservoir is a calm and open waterbody located in the town of Hrazdan, surrounded by gentle hills and patches of reed and grass. The mix of open water and shoreline vegetation attracts a variety of waterbirds and wetland species. You can often see Blauwe Reiger, Fuut, Kleine Zilverreiger, Grauwe Klauwier and various species of ducks and gulls. During migration, the reservoir becomes a stopover for waders and other passing birds. Its easy access, scenic views, and good birding opportunities make it a pleasant stop for birdwatchers exploring the Kotayk region.
