Extra info

The Şahin is seen very frequently, as well as the Yeşil Ağaçkakan, the Orman alaca ağaçkakanı, the Kayın Baştankarası and the Ökse ardıcı (less easy to see this one). In winter the Karabaşlı iskete is very present on the set and we know to see them often, while the Dağ ispinozu is more discreet but is still present. In summer we can see the Çıvgın; occasionally the Söğütbülbülü, and the Karabağlı ötleğen is heard.

When it comes to birds of prey, the most common are: the Şahin and the Atmaca, while the Kerkenez can be seen less frequently (the Çakýr is quite rare but in flight with luck we can see it). Note that in summer it is possible to see the Arı Şahini passing overhead.

Near the western entrance is a small pond where you can see the Yeşilbaş, the Sutavuðu, the Gri balýkçýl and even the Yalıçapkını!

Français: La Şahin s'observe très fréquemment, ainsi que le Yeşil Ağaçkakan, le Orman alaca ağaçkakanı la Kayın Baştankarası et la Ökse ardıcı (moins facile a voir celle là). En hiver le Karabaşlı iskete est bien présent sur le plateau et on sait en voir souvent, tandis que le Dağ ispinozu se fait plus discret mais est quand même présent. En été on sait voir le Çıvgın; occasionellement le Söğütbülbülü, et la Karabağlı ötleğen se fait entendre.

Quand au rapaces, les plus fréquents sont: la Şahin et l' Atmaca , tandis que on peut voir moins fréquement le Kerkenez ( l' Çakýr est assez rare mais en vol avec de la chance on sait le voir). A noter que en été c'est possible de voir passer au dessus de soi la Arı Şahini.

Près de l'entrée ouest un petite mare dans un creux est visible, ou l'on peut voir le Yeşilbaş, la Sutavuðu, le Gri balýkçýl et même le Yalıçapkını !
