TIRANA, November 11 – Cold temperatures and abundant food sources brought more winter birds to Lake Shkodër.

Observers spotted various species, including wild geese, coots, grebes, and ducks. These visits enrich the area’s biodiversity.

Biologists say migratory birds strengthen the ecosystem. Aurora Piroviqi explained that the lake’s geography, climate, and habitats create ideal conditions. About 270 bird species live in the lake, half of them migratory.

Lake Shkodër also serves as an important border region for migratory routes connecting Europe and North Asia to North Africa. The lake is a Ramsar site, highlighting its significance for water-birds.

The lake remains one of Albania’s key destinations for migratory birds. Specialists stress that protecting nature today ensures biodiversity for tomorrow.
