Description
The area is characterized by the enormous density of skřivan polní . Numbers are changing but for most of the year you almost stumble over them and they are not shy at all - as aren't the other regular breeding species strnad luční, ťuhýk obecný, bělořit šedý, stehlík obecný or slavík obecný. The area is a very popular public park and can get overcrowded during daytime so the best time for birding is early in the morning.
During migration time, common visitors are bramborníček černohlavý, bramborníček hnědý, linduška luční and strnad rákosní. Less frequently, but regularly observed are sluka lesní, kalous pustovka or skřivan lesní. Also krutihlav obecný and linduška úhorní are recorded yearly, mainly in August.
Keep your eyes open for overflying raptors and waders of all kind (there are single records of koliha velká, kulík zlatý, poštolka rudonohá, káně rousná, moták pilich and so on)!
