Description
The reservoir in Zesławice is an artificial water reservoir created in the 60s of the twentieth century as a result of damming the waters of the Dłubnia River with an earth dam for purposes related to the reduction of the flood wave on the Dłubnia River and water retention to equalize the flows below the dam. Zesławice consists of two large reservoirs of water with a road lined with concrete slabs in the middle of them. This causeway allows you to walk along the reservoirs and observe the birds. But you can also walk around the reservor. Also interesting for birding is the area where once a third reservoir was planned to the south (see the route on the map). Among the birds you can see in the area are polák velký, potápka roháč, kukačka obecná, Chřástal vodní, chřástal kropenatý, chřástal malý, čejka chocholatá, kulík písečný, kulík říční, břehouš černoocasý, jespák obecný, pisík obecný, vodouš tmavý and vodouš rudonohý.
