Migratory Birds
Now up to 332 species of birds have been identified in the area.This is the highest number of bird species in a single wetland.The belta is also important because it harbours endangered bird species like the small cormorant, the crested pelican, the summer duck, the ferruginous duck, the big forest eagle and the monarch eagle.Among the other bird species in the area to mention are the small goshawk, the night heron, the motley heron, the purple heron, the francolin, the kocagöz, the marsh sparrow, the whitish little ringed plover, the lapwing and the small tern.The white heron, the small white heron, the grey heron, the bull heron, the marsh European coot and the İzmir kingfisher are among the birds that incubate their eggs.While many aquatic birds like the grey goose, the widgeon, the common teal, the spoon beak and the Eurasian coot spend the winter in this area, many çeltikçi and storks stop here before proceeding with their migration.
