STEP INTO THE WILD
Shkodra Lake is an Important Bird Area known to many for its evergreen colors. The water surface offers excellent ground for thousands of wintering waterbirds whose population is dominated by diving species, including Pygmy Cormorants, Tufted Duck, Pochards, Crested Grebes, Goldeneyes, and Coots. The surrounding of the lake is covered with riparian forests and wet meadows, offering excellent roosting, nesting sites and feeding sites for numerous passerines. Such habitats and landscapes are not bare of Birds of Prey. While Harries are common species, even Eagles, namely the Golden Eagle, use the site as a feeding ground.
Spring comes with the colors of hundreds of flowers and dozen of butterflies. One could only admire the shapes and colors of Swallowtails (Papilio Machaon), Cleopatra butterfly (Gonepteryx Cleopatra), African Monarc (Danaus Chrysippus), Red Admiral (Vanessa Atalanta), European Peacock (Aglais Io).
Together with its historical-cultural background and warm hospitality, Shkodra Lake is a place to visit were people could easily have an excellent time.
