Bogazkoy Dam in Bursa becomes especially lively in the spring months, when migratory birds pass through the region.
The dam, which plays an important role in irrigating the Yenisehir Plain and supporting agricultural production in the region, also serves as a temporary sanctuary for various bird species during their long journeys.
In previous seasons, Bogazkoy Dam has hosted a wide variety of birds, including ducks, storks, and seagulls.
This diversity reflects the ecological richness of the area, which provides both food sources and a safe resting environment for migratory species.
Each year, the pattern repeats as different flocks arrive, pause, and then continue their journeys across continents.
Recently, pelicans have become the most striking visitors to the dam.
Their large wingspans and graceful movements create a visually impressive scene as they glide over the water or gather in small groups along the shoreline.
The arrival of pelicans during their migration has turned the Bogazkoy Dam into a small seasonal attraction for birdwatching.
The combination of still water, surrounding greenery, and the presence of such majestic birds creates a serene atmosphere.
