Beskrivning
Bughdasheni Lake is a relatively small lake south of the village of Gorelovka at the mouth of the Zagranichnaia River. Like the other lakes in the Javakheti region, the lake is located on a plateau. The lake is situated at an elevation of approximately 2,000 meters, resulting in a vast and sparsely vegetated landscape. Extensive agriculture is practiced around the lake.
In spring several water birds can be expected such as: armenisk trut, vit pelikan, krushuvad pelikan, bronsibis, Trana, gråhakedopping, svarthalsad dopping and purpurhäger. There is also an island where natthäger and a breeding colony of Storskarv are present. In addition, several kaja (soemmerringii) are present on dung heaps near the village of Gorelovka. The vit stork is well represented in the area around the lake as a breeding bird. In spring there is a chance of seeing Black-headed wagtail, citronärla and rödstrupig piplärka directly around the lake. The plains surrounding the lake are full of kornsparv en sånglärka.

Tillgänglighet
Bughdasheni Lake is located 175 km southwest of Tblisi. The lake can be reached from Ninotsminda by driving the paved road (E691) to Gorelovka. In Gorelovka, turn right onto a dirt road that crosses a river. This road is in poor condition, and you should drive all the way to the end until you see a birdwatching hut on the right.
