Description
Polder Jamnik has a different habitat and is unique in the entire Barycz Valley. It consists of a mosaic of wetlands. In the western part, the polder has the character of a shallow pond with extensive reed beds and clumps of sedges. The water there is maintained in some places throughout the spring. In the remaining parts it has the character of a floodplain river valley with reed beds and sedges. In slightly less hydrated places, valuable and protected habitats of ryegrass meadows have developed. At the end of winter and early spring, as a result of thaws and floods, vast pools are formed, resembling wild river valleys in eastern Poland.
For some breeding birds, Polder Jamnik is the most important place in the Barycz Valley. It has probably the second largest breeding population in the whole Silesia. The polder is also home to Little Bittern, Western Marsh Harrier, Garganey, Common Snipe, Black Tern, Gadwall, Red-necked Grebe. Often White-winged Tern breeds. It is a great place to observe Black Stork, which feed here in large flocks (even more than 50 individuals have been seen). Nearby, you can observe a huge number of bird species living in the nearby park, forest, meadows and fields. In addition to the Mute Swan that often breed here, Whooper Swan are also frequently seen. Other birds that can be seen are Peregrine Falcon, Red Kite, Savi's Warbler, Great Bittern, Little Crake, Spotted Crake, Grasshopper Warbler, Northern Shoveler, Common Crane, Eurasian Hobby and Water Rail.
