This varied biological structure makes the region gain an importance in bird species. The existence of Kingfisher (Alcedo atthis), Grey Heron (Ardea cinerea), Squacco Heron (Ardeola ralloides) and Little Bittern (Ixobrychus minutus) that have all been observed to incubate here indicates that the region has a clean wetland ecosystem. As a result of this research based on observations made mostly in spring and summer, 152 bird species have been recorded. 85 species are definitely breeding, 21 are probable breeding birds. 46 bird species are winter visitors or transit birds.
