Description
The Langwieser See is a small lake. The lake itself isn't very good for birding, but sometimes you can spot Yalıçapkını there. In the reed area about 100 meters east of the lake, in winter you can see for example Bataklık kirazkuşu and sometimes also Su kılavuzu. In summer it's full of Saz Kamışçını. West to the lake, there are nice water reservoirs, which in winter often contain Küçük su çulluğu (best to spot with a thermal imaging camera), and sometimes Su çulluğu.
South to the reservoirs, there is a smal bush land with Sarı kirazkuşu, Saka and in winter often Dağ ispinozu. In the gardens and trees along the small stream you can find Karabaşlı iskete in winter and Kızılkuyruk and Akgerdanlı ötleğen in summer. Sometimes you can also hear a Bülbül here.
Very good are the fields around the whole area. During migration you can see Çayır incirkuşu, Çalı kamışçını, Taşkuşu (sometimes also staying over winter), Çakýr, Kuyrukkakan, Sarý kuyruksallayan, Küçük Ak Gerdanlı Ötleğen and rarely Boyunçeviren, Kızkuşu and Gökçe delice. All year round you will find Ketenkuşu, Tarlakuşu, Gri balýkçýl and Kerkenez. Sometimes you can also see Çilkeklik, Atmaca or Gök doðan.
