Its story
The bird paradise is a wetland formed in the Davutoğlan area where the Aladağ Stream flows into the Sarıyar Reservoir. Reed beds, willow and poplar groves provide important shelter and feeding grounds for herons, black storks, birds of prey and ducks. The area is on the wetlands list of the General Directorate of Nature Conservation and National Parks. Birds can be watched from the roadside observation tower; the view of the colorful Kız Tepesi rising just behind makes the site especially attractive to photographers. Early morning is the most productive time for observation.
