Lake Tuz (Tuz Gölü) in central Turkey hosts the country’s largest natural breeding colony of Greater Flamingo, Phoenicopterus roseus.
Birds arrive in spring, form large nesting colonies on islands and shallow flats, incubate eggs in late spring and raise chicks through early summer.
Breeding success is highly sensitive to lake water level and local rainfall.
