Description

Vachiani Lake is one of dozens of lakes on the Javakheti Plateau, but is significant for birdwatching because many species can be seen here at short range. Pélican blanc and Pélican frisé forage here regularly in small numbers. Above the water Guifette leucoptère and Guifette moustac forage together.

During spring many migrant waders like Combattant varié, Bécasseau minute and Chevalier sylvain, pipits and wagtails (Pipit à gorge rousse, Bergeronnette citrine , Black-headed wagtail and Bergeronnette printanière (à tête grise)) can be seen on the West side of the lake (1 on the map). If you're lucky you can see Chevalier stagnatile or Phalarope à bec étroit here. Grèbe jougris breed close to shore (2 on the map).
