The light covering Madine Lake is highly contrasted due to the absence of light pollution generated by large cities. The site attracts both professional photographers and ornithologists or birds enthusiasts. It is home to rich avifauna constituted of more than 200 kinds of aquatic birds. Migratory species such as common cranes and greylag geese also nest or rest there before heading to African coasts for winter. Madine Lake is a Natura 2000 protected site that combines a leisure area and numerous quiet zones for birds to nest.
