Description
Brannäs Våtmark is an area that contains several different ponds with varying amounts of vegetation enclosed by varying forest biotopes. In winter, there are still quite a few birds to see in the parts that don't freeze over. Su çulluğu, Çitkuşu, Kızılgerdan and Su kılavuzu are virtually there all year round. In the forest areas there are Küçük ağaçkakan and serçe baykuşu and the other common woodpecker species. In the spring, birds that nest in the ponds arrive: Yeşilbaş, Kuğu, Çamurcun, Boz ördek and Su kılavuzu and in the reeds Saz Kamışçını, Bataklık kirazkuşu and Kındıra kamışçını. During the autumn, flocks of ducks rest in the area.
Observations of the following rarities have been made over the years: Ala doğan, Dağ kuyruksallayanı, Halkalı Sinekkapan, Çulhakuşu, uzun kuyruklu kumru, Bataklık Kamışçını and Büyük ak balýkçýl.
