Turkey’s Lake Van hosts flamingos

Lake Van becomes a temporary home for flamingos every year. These vibrant birds, with their fluffy pink plumage and slender necks, nest in Turkey’s largest lake throughout the summer before embarking on their migration to warmer regions in Africa. Their presence adds a captivating and picturesque element to the natural scenery of Lake Van in eastern Turkey.

Flamingos that have completed their migration period choose to spend the winter in the Lake Van basin. According to research by Yuzuncu Yil University in Van, nearly 240 species of birds have been found in Van Lake basin. (Özkan Bilgin – Anadolu Agency)
