Flamingos arrive at Iran’s Miankaleh wetland as autumn migration begins

The Miankaleh International Wetland in northern Iran has become a seasonal haven for migratory birds, including flamingos, as autumn migration gets underway, according to the head of the Miankaleh Wildlife Refuge and Reserve.

Ali Akbar Fadaei, director of the reserve, told Fars News Agency that the arrival of flamingos began with the onset of autumn and continues as more flocks reach the region.

“Most of these birds are transient migrants,” he said, adding that some choose the wetland as their wintering ground, remaining there until the end of the cold season.

Fadaei emphasized the importance of maintaining peace and security in natural habitats to protect these species during their stay.

Known as the “Birds’ Paradise,” the Miankaleh Wetland is one of Iran’s most significant habitats for migratory birds, hosting thousands of species each year.
