In winter, many granivorous passerines come to feed on the site, note the presence of Kocabaş (also a breeder) and Dağ ispinozu. From the observatory you will be able to observe the Anatidae, maybe hear the Su kılavuzu shout. At the end of the day you can attend the Sığır balıkçılı dormitory gathering on the island of the pond.
In the spring watch for the pre-nuptial migrants, the first Kır kırlangıcı, Ev kırlangıcı, Kum kırlangıcı come to feed above the pond, not far away a Delice doğan could present itself for capture one while waiting for the emergence of the first dragonflies. The Balık kartalı migrates to reach its breeding site just like the Leylek. Take a look at the tail of the pond from the dike, maybe a Çıkrıkçın has stopped there.
