In 1938 the Kuş Cenneti (Turkish for "Bird Paradise") nature reserve was set up by the German zoologist and hydrologist Curt Kosswig who worked in Turkey from 1937-1955. This 64 hectare sanctuary occupies a largely unspoiled area of the lakeside near Sığırcık in the northeast corner of the lake. It has a small ornithological museum of stuffed birds in poor condition, remote-controlled viewing cameras, and an observation tower erected by the Hydrology Department of the University of Istanbul in 1952. alihanhz38 https://padlet.com/alihanhz38/jaun0l1ecmc4/wish/168895264 2017-04-28 14:44:35 UTC https://padlet.com/alihanhz38/jaun0l1ecmc4/wish/168895264 lake Kuş or Lake Manyas (Turkish: Kuş Gölü meaning Bird Lake, or, Manyas Gölü) is a lake in western Turkey, located in the Bandırma region. This is a shallow nutrient-rich freshwater lake (average depth 3 m) fed by groundwater and four streams. Small deltas have formed where the latter enter the lake, comprising extensive marshes and tree-lined riverbanks. Narrow belts of reed Phragmites fringe much of the lake. Water is abstracted for factory use and for irrigation. Cattle- and sheep-grazing is common along the lake shores. alihanhz38 https://padlet.com/alihanhz38/jaun0l1ecmc4/wish/168895718 2017-04-28 14:45:56 UTC https://padlet.com/alihanhz38/jaun0l1ecmc4/wish/168895718 More than 270 species of birds have been recorded at the lake.
