Opis
A lake ecosystem surrounded by extensive reedbeds and steppe, the flood control dam is the perfect habitat for waterfowl, shorebirds and waders, as well as many reed-dwellling species. When viewed from the top of the dam itself, many species of waterfowl can be seen including podgorzałka, hełmiatka and sterniczka among the more ubiquitous grebes and łyska. A modest selection of gulls and terns can also be viewed from this point.
When you take the dirt tracks from either side of the dam towards the south you will come near the muddy shoreline which attracts thousands of waders during migration, with many species to be seen among hordes of batalion, biegus malutki, and łęczak; this comes with good prospects of finding scarcer species like biegus płaskodzioby, terekia or płatkonóg szydłodzioby. szczudłak, czajka and sieweczka rzeczna also use this spot as breeding grounds, along with perhaps a few others. Breeding species such as tamaryszka, trzciniak, brzęczka, wierzbówka zwyczajna, wąsatka, remiz and potrzos make good use of the reedbeds. Especially during autumn migration these reedbeds also host very high numbers of roosting hirundines, wagtails and potrzeszcz; and you can catch a glipse of a wodnik (zwyczajny), crake or podróżniczek stealthily moving through the ground below. błotniak stawowy are a also a fixture of the reedbeds, and several can be seen patrolling over their favorite patches of reed at any given moment.
Far south of the lake are the muddy plains which host, especially during migration, high numbers of egrets and herons, augmented by flocks of ibis kasztanowaty and warzęcha, or perhaps a group of pelikan różowy. If you visit during late March-mid April you might also stumble upon a staging flock of żuraw stepowy, which is always a nice bird to see. Also sharing these areas in the post-breeding season are immense numbers of kazarka rdzawa which fill the lake with their honking sounds as they gather in the late afternoon. Roosting marsh terns of 3 species, rybitwa krótkodzioba and mewa armenska can also be seen here.
Raptors are generally present in small numbers, though nearby breeding kurhannik and pustułeczka can be seen with ease. During migration and winter additional species such as rybołów, błotniak zbożowy, błotniak stepowy, kobczyk and drzemlik can be seen, and if you are lucky you might see a wandering orzeł cesarski from the nearby breeding grounds.
The steppe and hilly terrain surrounding the lake host breeding kalandra szara, skowrończyk mały and białorzytka płowa; and especially during the autumn migration large numbers of larks, pipits, wagtails, pokląskwa and białorzytka make use of these habitats, the latter two usually seen perched on every other wire or fence. Fenced-off gardens can also attract shrikes and flycatchers. During winter these fields can also support large flocks of seed-eaters.

Dostęp
A car is practically a necessity as no public transport will carry you this far. You can take a bus as far as Yağlıpınar Village but after that you'll have to walk.
If you're coming from Haymana Road, take the left immediately after you have passed Yavrucuk Village (39.692249, 32.741794). Drive along this road, then take a right at 39.686185, 32.772293. Drive along until you have reached the stone wall. From here you can look down on the dam.
On both sides of stone wall are dirt tracks leading south, which you can follow until you are at the southern part of the dam.
If you are coming from Konya Road, an alternative route would be to take a right at Yağlıpınar Village and follow the road until you reach the shoreline, around the middle of the dam (https://www.google.com/maps/dir/39.7213488,32.8135236/39.6526985,32.7784951/@39.6936588,32.7863868,17421m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m2!4m1!3e0).
Once you've arrived you can technically park your car and walk along the shore, but this is not recommended as it will result in your birding being significantly harder, as well as safety issues.

Especially on the weekends this area, most usually the shoreline along the dirt tracks, are used extensively by fishermen, and to a lesser extent families having picnic or barbeques. This can result in a significant reduction in bird activity, so always try to go in the early morning on weekdays.
Also reducing bird activity can be large flocks of sheep and goats, and these flocks are usually accompanied by dogs which can be very aggressive.
The water level is very season-dependent and roads described can be partially or fully submerged during winter or spring. This can result in the above description or Google Maps being inaccurate. The dam also shows a trend of getting larger each year.
Also be wary of mud, as it can result in you getting stuck, in which case a tractor will probably be required. 4x4 vehicles are highly recommended.
