Curly pelican in Prespa

The curly pelican, the rare bird that is classified as endangered, is returning to Lake Prespa e Madhe.   

After the bird flu two years ago that caused the mass loss of this bird, the situation seems to be improving and the number of pelicans is increasing.

The curly pelican appears in the Pustec area during the warm season while it nests in the Greek part of the lake, but during the last two years its presence was almost absent, while the slight improvement of the situation seems hopeful for the specialists of the protected areas.

"We are in front of a fact that is discussed about the curly pelican which is one of the largest flying birds that exists. Its presence in the lakes of Prespa can be said since the spring of 2022, it has been reduced to a large extent due to the decline of bird flu, and at the moment after the curly pelican nests there, and when it arrives in Prespa, Greece, it has lost a number considerable number of pelicans. The first year after the fall of the birds, I can say that it has become extremely rare and the presence in the lakes of Prespa has been very low.

From the census we conducted in the lakes of Prespa e Madhe, we found about 50 pelicans, when before the fall of bird flu around May 5-6, we counted about 495 individuals in one day. So we see a mass reduction of this bird. To this day, the number has been increasing, also due to the exit of new individuals, and the number is increasing," says expert Vasil Male.

According to experts, the Prespa watershed and lakes are a habitat for a significant number of birds, mainly water birds, including rare species. /TCh
