Description
Lake Jandari is a lake located partly in Georgia and Azerbaijan. The lake consists of shallow, silted areas and deeper water. The water level in the lake fluctuates throughout the year, creating interesting foraging areas for migrating waterfowl such as ducks and wading birds. Many migratory birds are present during spring and autumn, and various bird species winter on the lake.
Species present in spring and autumn include: Stârc galben, Fluierar de mlaștină, Cormoran mic, Pescăruș armenian, Rață cârâitoare, Lăcustar, Fugaci roșcat and Codobatură cu cap galben. In the reed collars you can find Lăcar mare and Stârc pitic. The lake is home to a colony of Chirighiță cu obraz alb and some pairs of Chiră mică breed there. More rare species (for this country) that may be occasionally present are Pelican creț, Privighetoare de baltă and Grey-headed Swamphen. Winter is good for several species of ducks.
