Beschrijving
Tbilisi Reservoir is divided in two parts. A smaller eastern part and a larger western part. In the western part you can observe different ducks (Wilde Eend, Krakeend, Nonnetje), gulls (Kleine Mantelmeeuw, Reuzenzwartkopmeeuw, Stormmeeuw, Dwergmeeuw) and terns (Grote Stern, Visdief, Witvleugelstern). In the eastern part near the strait wintering swans (Kleine Zwaan, Wilde Zwaan) and even loons (Parelduiker, Roodkeelduiker) can be encountered.
The shores of the eastern part are muddy and flat, so it is a good place for waders (Tureluur, Bosruiter, Scholekster, Kemphaan, Watersnip). In the reedbeds you can find almost all species of herons, that live in Georgia (Blauwe Reiger, Grote Zilverreiger, Ralreiger, Woudaap).
Open spaces, covered with grass on the shores of the reservoir attract larks, shrikes, pipits and birds of prey (including Slechtvalk, Smelleken, Roodpootvalk, Kleine Torenvalk, Steppekiekendief, Steppearend, Visarend).
In the coastal forests live woodpeckers (Syrische Bonte Specht, Kleine Bonte Specht, Draaihals, Zwarte Specht), tits, finches (Goudvink, Vink) and even Kruisbek.
