Beschrijving
The area provides good mixture of habitats, including coastal lake with extensive reed-beds, sandy beach and dunes, arable lands and stony steppe grasslands, small forested and bushy areas and villages. In summer time it is an easy place to observe Veldrietzanger, Vorkstaartplevier, Purperreiger and number of waterfowl species, including Witoogeend. Good variety of bird species can be seen during the migration period, including Zwarte Ibis, Lepelaar, the three species of 'marsh' terns, and other. The lake is one of the main wintering areas of Roodhalsgans, big number of other waterfowl, including Dwerggans and other. Durankulak Lake is the best place in Bulgaria, where there is some chance in winter time to see Grote Trap and Kleine Trap.
