Description

Old gravel pits and brick factory in Bogdanovica village are turned into several ponds on the left bank of Ub river. The small artificial water reservoirs now attract numerous waterbirds, like Σταχτοτσικνιάς, Αργυροτσικνιάς, Πρασινοκέφαλη Πάπια, (Κοινή) Φαλαρίδα, Αρκοπετείναρο, Λαγγόνα, and others. Surrounding the gravel pits is agricultural land with (Κοινός) Κόρακας and (Κοινή) Γερακίνα. The gravel pits are some winters visited by rare birds like Κοκκινοβουτηχτάρι and Γελαδάρης.
