Description
Obszar Dawnej Kopalni Siarki Jeziórko is a vast open area with 19 ponds, several hundred hectares of meadows, reed beds and wetlands in post-mining sinkholes. Over 200 species of birds (115 breeding birds) have been observed here. It is an excellent place to observe the breeding gulls such as racek chechtavý, racek bělohlavý, racek černohlavý and waders like vodouš rudonohý, kulík říční and koliha velká. Also other water birds and herons can be seen here like chřástal malý, chřástal kropenatý, Chřástal vodní, lyska černá, chřástal polní, bukáček malý and bukač velký.
During spring migration, you can observe flocks of geese (up to several hundred individuals) husa velká, husa běločelá, husta tundrová, husa malá and berneška bělolící, ducks (up to several thousand) polák malý, ostralka štíhlá, zrzohlávka rudozobá, polák chocholačka and polák velký, etc.
In late autumn, regular groups of morčák malý (the largest in the region), as well as potáplice severní, potáplice malá and morčák prostřední can be seen. In winter you can regularly observe, among others moták pilich, káně rousná and orel mořský. Among the owls observed in this area, kalous pustovka and breeding and kalous ušatý should be mentioned. It's worth having a telescope with you, but with the binoculars only you can easily see most species.

Access
The easiest way to get to the Jeziórka area is from the Grębów - Tarnobrzeg road. The oldest post-mining ponds are already visible from the road, an asphalt road leads deep into the area (further on, shallow and gravel). You can also enter or walk from the side of Wydrza on a gravel road (turn after the Primary School in Wydrza).
A very convenient means of transportation is by bike, but you might as well get there by car or hitchhike and just walk around the whole area.
