Derwent Reservoir is always good for wildfowl, especially for wintering ducks, geese and swans. Balık kartalı nest locally in spring/summer. One of the owl boxes near the hide is often occupied by Peçeli Baykuş in breeding season. Waders (Küçük halkalı cılıbıt, Halkalı cılıbıt, Kızkuşu, Kızılbacak, Poyrazkuşu, Kervançulluğu, Dere düdükçünü) and woodland bird species (Orman alaca ağaçkakanı, Sıvacı, Tit and Finch flocks) are also regular.
