In winter Küçük Tarla Kazı, Boz kaz, Fiyu and Ötücü kuğu can be seen on the loch, and in summer, large numbers of Kır kırlangıcı, Kum kırlangıcı and Ebabil can be seen over the water. Tepeli patka, Altıngöz and Bahri can be seen year-round.

Their nest is situated within 200 metres of an observation hide, allowing up-close viewing through binoculars and telescopes.
