Overview
The reed beds lining the south and east shores of Sorbulak stretch several hundred metres from water's edge and hold a separate suite of species from the open water. Walk the reed margin slowly in the first two hours of daylight to find Great and Little Bitterns flushing from the reeds, Water Rail skulking at the edge, and Reed Warblers and Clamorous Reed Warblers singing from the stems. Marsh Harriers quarter the reed tops continuously. The fringing scrub and tamarisk belts inland from the reeds attract migrants in spring and autumn — Thrush Nightingale, Bluethroat, Common Rosefinch, and occasionally Eastern Olivaceous Warbler. The walk is 1–2 km along a firm track.
