Description

The small wooden hut on Mangroovy Beach offers protection from the sun and wind. As of July 2024, construction of private villas along this beach has begun. When the big tides return and flood the area in November I will report back and sightings will be on eBird.

Among the birds you can see here are Kervançulluğu, kıyı balıkçılı, Yeşilbacak, Balık kartalı, Halkalı cılıbıt, Kızılbacak and Akça cılıbıt.
