Overview
The first view of Sorbulak hits without preamble: the track crests the dam berm and the full expanse of the lake opens below, water surface interrupted by the dark lines of reed beds and, in summer and spring, dense rafts of cormorants, coots, and ducks. This is the best vantage point for an overview scan — bring the scope here first. Dalmatian pelicans are typically visible from this point as a white mass 300–400 m offshore, distinguishable by their massive bulk and the russet breeding pouch at the base of the bill. Great cormorant colonies occupy reed platforms to the northwest.
