Description
South of the main road, next to the saltpans, a large field consisting of lower vegetation and seasonal pools is located. This area cannot be easily accessed, but are still worth a check with your binoculars or telescope. The seasonal pools can hold large numbers of waders, egrets, herons and waterfowl. Groups of pipits, wagtails and larks, like Kızılgerdanlı incirkuşu and Bozkır Toygarı, can be seen here too, feeding in the surrounding grassy vegetation. Also, the electricity wires along the road and in the field are great for Arıkuşu, İbibik, shrikes and swallows. During migration, flocks of Ala doğan can be seen here too. Raptors can be seen hunting above these fields too, like Saz delicesi.
Further down the road, near the seaside, you can walk along the beach and check the bushes for Çalı Bülbülü. The fields next to the beach are great for flocks of pipits, wagtails and larks, like Kır incirkuşu and Bozkır Toygarı. The area is also used as breeding ground for Kocagöz.
