Description

Étang du Boulet is located on an important migratory route. Due to its size and environment, it is an interesting site with different species of migratory birds. The species observed adapt remarkably well to the diversity of the environment: during the low-water period when the level is lowest: waders (Sarıbacaklı kumkuşu, Yeşil düdükçün, Halkalı cılıbıt, Gümüş yağmurcun), forest birds in the Bourgouët woods to the north of the pond. The winter period is ideal for observing passerines (Karabağlı ötleğen, Ketenkuşu, Sıvacı), woodpeckers (Orman alaca ağaçkakanı, Küçük ağaçkakan, Kara ağaçkakan) and raptors (Arı Şahini, Balık kartalı, Atmaca).

Français: Etang de 150 ha, divisé en 3 ensembles aux caractéristiques bien dissociées: 1 plan d'eau principal et 2 queues d'étang interdites au public. L'étang se trouve sur une voie migratrice importante. De par sa taille et son environnement, il constitue un site intéressant pour accueillir différentes espèces d'oiseaux de passage.

Les espèces observées s'adaptent remarquablement à la diversité du milieu: durant la période d'étiage où le niveau est le plus bas: les limicoles (Sarıbacaklı kumkuşu, Yeşil düdükçün, Halkalı cılıbıt, Gümüş yağmurcun), des oiseaux forestiers dans le bois de Bourgouët au nord de l'étang. La période hivernale est idéale pour observer des passereaux (Karabağlı ötleğen, Ketenkuşu, Sıvacı), des pics (Orman alaca ağaçkakanı, Küçük ağaçkakan, Kara ağaçkakan), des rapaces (Arı Şahini, Balık kartalı, Atmaca).
