The park can be very busy, but is nice for some relaxed birding and you have a good chance to spot ďateľ hnedkavý, hrdlička malá, dudok chochlatý, sedmohlások bledý, alexander veľký, alexander malý and kanárik poľný. Especially during migration nice birds can turn up like strakoš obyčajný, muchár sivý, muchárik malý, muchárik čiernohlavý, žltochvost hôrny and penica popolavá.
