Description
Keskin Dam is an artificial dam where the water level changes every season. It is one of the few wetland close to the city center and easy to reach via public transportation. Because of its small size, the birds such as egrets, ducks, raptors and waders are in close distance to observe. Among the birds you can encounter are Обыкновенный жулан, Золотистая щурка, Жёлтая цапля, Белокрылая крачка, Белощекая крачка, Огарь, Чомга, Перевозчик, Большой улит, Фифи, Белый аист and Орлан-белохвост.

Access
It is 20 km from city center. Public transportation (number 53 bus from Odunpazarı) is frequent to nearest village. The area is mostly flat and possible to explore around by walking, cycling or by car. It is good to be careful for muddy parts when the water level is low.
