Tarakliyskoye Vodokhranilishche, meer in Moldavië
Tarakliyskoye Vodokhranilishche is a large water reservoir in Moldova's Gagauzia region that stretches across flat terrain as a wide, reflective surface. The site stores water for local farming needs and supports fish populations and aquatic vegetation.
The reservoir was built decades ago to ensure steady water supply and manage water levels for the region. Since its creation, it has become an important habitat for birds and other animal species.
The name reflects the local language and refers to the water body as a natural resource for the community. Visitors and local birdwatchers regularly use the area to observe wildlife and enjoy the quiet landscape.
Early morning or late afternoon visits offer the best conditions for observing birds and enjoying the natural surroundings. Basic binoculars and patience are the main requirements to explore the area and watch the local wildlife.
The reservoir is an important stopover point during bird migrations, particularly in spring and autumn, when many species travel between northern and southern regions. This makes it a valuable observation site for ornithologists and nature enthusiasts seeking to spot rare or migratory species.
