Nice, small and well preserved wetland. Nice to see its natural structure. The wetland holds Hvithodeand and Taffeland breeding couples and others.

Description

Lake Çilli is a small freshwater habitat with emergent vegetation. It seems well preserved. The lake is not deep and there is no intensive irrigation system which takes water from the lake. Farming practices around the lake look traditional. During the spring migration it is a lively place in terms of birds.
