Located in the salt deserts of Qom, Morreh Wetland has been a critical stopover for thousands of migratory waterbirds and shorebirds during autumn and winter.

Beschrijving

This seasonal wetland is situated along the road to Garmsar. As the whole area is desert, this body of water acts like a haven for many waders and waterbirds during their migration and wintering. In winter, you can spot large flocks of Grauwe Gans, Wilde Eend, Wintertaling, and Bergeend, along with different species of plovers, sandpipers, and herons. The Zeearend is usually spotted there easily, and a good number of Steltkluut and Kluut stay in the wetland.

Toegang

The best way to reach Morreh Wetland is by private vehicle, as it is located about 50 kilometers northeast of Qom City. You can park along the safe shoulders of the Qom-Garmsar highway. It is recommended to spend at least half a day there, as bird activity varies greatly depending on the time of day and water levels. Additionally, you can explore the surrounding steppe areas to find desert-specialist passerines. Also, if you have time, you can combine your birdwatching in this place and Band Alikhan (also described on Birdingplaces) which is a few kilometers away.
