Description
The Salmenwiesen meadows are easily accessible and offer a good mix of birds all year round, especially at times when there is water on the meadows and in the ditches. When the meadows are flooded, a good number of birds use the meadows as a place to feed and rest. Boz kaz, Kanada Kazı, Gri balýkçýl, Sutavuðu, Yeşilbaş and Kara kargası are nearly always present. At times they are joined by Leylek, Angit and Çamurcun.
During spring migration it is possible to see pairs or small groups of Taşkuşu and Sarý kuyruksallayan. If you are lucky, you may see Su çulluğu , Çekirge Kamışçını or even a rarity such as a Sığır balıkçılı! During spring and summer there is a good chance of observing Akgerdanlı ötleğen, Kızılsırtlı örümcekkuşu and Kır kırlangıcı. Birds of prey can also frequently be observed soaring over the meadows.
In winter, Çayır incirkuşu and Ak kuyruksallayan are usually present and can be heard and seen foraging on the meadows and in the reeds.
