Iran's bird life is geographically diverse because the country sits on major migration routes between Europe, Africa, and Central Asia. Caspian wetlands, the Persian Gulf coast, and the Lake Urmia basin (when full) attract huge migratory populations. Birdwatching is a small but growing pastime in urban Iran, and bird sanctuaries have been established in places like Miankaleh on the Caspian coast.
