On 13 May 2013, the winners for the preparation of promotional material for the lake got its big prize - a trip to the reserve with a leader ornithologist.
Student Competition for advertising and informational material for the lagoon lake was organized by the Natural History Museum Burgas in partnership with the Ministry of Education Inspectorate and Bulgarian Biodiversity Foundation, with the support of the "Salt of Life", funded by the EU's LIFE +. The tour takes place thanks to the support of the Municipality.
Here is what tells Light Dalakchieva of Natural History and the "Salt of Life": "Despite forecasts for rain, nature was on our side and we were able to enjoy a few hours spent among birds in the lake. Our first stop was in the north salinas, where we went to the point - the traditional place to track the autumn migration. A female marsh harrier came so close to us that we do not have to use binoculars and tubes to look at it. Then we moved to Shelter for bird watching, located on the southern salinas. There from a very short distance we were able to meet with Avocets, Black-winged Stilt, Common Terns, Mallards, Shelduck, little Bella herons and spoonbills. "
The organizers have secured 10 binoculars and optical tube for bird watching and explained to the children how to use binoculars, how to behave and how to set its focus.
