Description
Both quarries provide well protected artificial lakes for water birds to breed and is home to Elmabaş patka and Küçük batağan. The reeds provide a home for Saz Kamışçını and occasionaly Bataklık Kamışçını. The surrounding area is dry and comprised of bushland where one might find Küçük iskete and Çizgili ötleğen.
The old filled quarry is closest to the parking lots, the other one (not shown on map) lies directly behind that and can be acessed by following the trail. It is important to not stray from the trails as to not disturb any wildlife and to not accidently get to close to the active mining. The filled quarries are deep and the tall edges provide natural platforms from where one can have an overview over the water.
