Turkey’s Lake Van basin hosts Siberian whooper swans
Turkey's Lake Van basin, which is home to many different bird species, hosts whooper swans from Siberia and northern regions as the weather gets colder.
Noting that most of the swans shelter on the shores of Ercis, Adızel said: "It is a species that migrates to our region to spend the winter. Towards the spring, they head north again. The species, also known as the white goose in the region, is under hunting pressure despite conservation efforts."
