About Yenişakran Bozgöl

Yenişakran Bozgöl is a small, shallow natural lake near Yenişakran in Aliağa district. Despite its size it is an important habitat for many bird species, especially in winter, and Visit İzmir notes that it also serves as a resting stop for birds tired out during migration. After dry spells the lake can dry out in summer, so it is best visited in the wetter months. Birds that can be seen here include coot, spoonbill, grebe, collared pratincole, barn swallow and common greenshank. It is a natural wetland that adds to the biodiversity of the area, with no visitor facilities, so it suits birdwatchers rather than picnickers.
