Flamingos are seen standing and feeding at Lake Van Basin, which is one of the most important accommodation centers of migratory birds on their migration journey, in Van, Turkiye on February 19, 2025. Some bird species that spend the warm months in wetland areas of the basin and migrate to warmer regions as the weather cools, did not migrate this year despite the snow and cold weather during the winter.
